In a very brief post written on the Treyarch Community website, John Rafacz, Communications/Social Media Director for Treyarch, has revealed that the Closed Alpha test has begun for Black Ops 3’s mod tools. The alpha testing period is expected to last several months, whereupon testing will move into the open beta phase, based on feedback from the alpha testers themselves. It appears as though there’s no NDA in place, as we will “hear from participants of the closed alpha,” so it will be interesting to see what sort of functionality Treyarch has provided modders to play with at this stage.
