SANTA MONICA, Calif. â As if the gun-toting action in Call of Duty: Black Ops wasn't expected to feel real enough in high definition, Activision Blizzard Inc. announced Tuesday that the latest entry in its successful first-person-shooter video game franchise would be released in 3-D, yet another addition to the 3-D revolution's growing arsenal.
Mark Lamia, studio head at developer Treyarch, said Black Ops would be available in 3-D as an option for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC editions of the game when it is released Nov. 9. He said the game would be the same if played in 2-D or 3-D and that no content was created especially for the 3-D version, though it looks much more immersive.
When you're looking at the game in 3-D, the space you're looking at feels real, said Lamia. When I've got a weapon, and I'm painting a red dot on an enemy target, I'm painting a red dot on an enemy target. When I'm aiming down the sights, I'm aiming down the sights. When someone's down the corridor, it feels like somebody's down that corridor â for real.
Black Ops, the seventh installment in the Call of Duty shoot-'em-up saga, will take aim at the Cold War, thrusting players into a time-hopping adventure that involves military cover-ups and shoot-outs in locales such as Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cuba and Russia. The game will also include extensive online multiplayer and cooperative zombie modes.
