Call of Duty: Black Ops Features 3D Support

Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops will feature support for stereoscopic 3D visuals on 3D-ready HDTVs and Nvidia 3D Vision-ready PCs that use active shutter 3D glasses. The first-person shooter's Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC editions will offer both 3D and non-3D modes when the game launches on November 9th. Call of Duty: Black Ops for Wii, Nintendo DS and other platforms will not include support for stereoscopic 3D. Developer Treyarch says it began working on stereoscopic 3D support as an R&D project but eventually felt it would be appropriate to the series. Players will be able to see the 3D effects while aiming with their weapons' sights, flying in helicopters, rappelling down mountains, and in other activities. Call of Duty: Black Ops' 3D setting is presented as a menu option that players can choose to enable or disable at any time whether they're in the single-playing campaign, multiplayer matches, or the Zombie mode. "Development of stereoscopic 3D began as an R&D project, but once we saw what the technology brought to the Call of Duty experience, what a great fit and how immersive it was, we knew that we had to develop it for Black Ops," says Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia.
