Call of Duty: Black Ops playable in 3D

Publisher Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops, which will be released november 9th, will be playable in 3D on all platforms. Players need a 3D-monitor and special glasses, though.

Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch, said this October 5th:
"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. Aiming down the sights of your weapons, flying in helicopters, rappelling down mountains, and moving through highly detailed environments are just some of the awesome experiences you will have in 3D with Black Ops." 

Looks like it's just another feature we'll be looking forward to for the next month. Sadly, playing this gamemode requires the player to buy new hardware. For console versions, a 3D-tv is needed. The PC-version needs to use Nvidia's 3D Vision. This means that a 120Hz-screen is required, just as a pretty good video card, because framerate will decrease by half when Nvidia's 3D Vision is in use. 


A FAQ and more information about 3D-support is provided by the website of Call of Duty.
