Treyarch ‘looked at’ 3D for CoD: Black Ops

That is what people seem to be liking right now, the depth through your monitor rather than things popping out at you.”

Treyarch has told CVG that it looked into creating 3D content for Call of Duty: Black Ops – but has cagily suggested than none has made it into the final title.

The studio’s community manager Josh Olin told us that 3D wasn’t a “big focus” for the studio – without definitively saying “no”.

FPS rivals Crysis 2 and Killzone 3 have both adopted the technology.

“We’ve looked at it,” Olin revealed. “I think that games [are] going to work if you have your 3D goggles and 3DTV.

“We haven’t engineered any gameplay specifically to 3D – that technology was kind of new [during development] so that’s not a big focus for Black Ops. But it is definitely popular, especially the depth 3D [offers] right now. That is what people seem to be liking right now, the depth through your monitor rather than things popping out at you.”

See? Cagey. Could Treyarch be planning a 3D software update in the future – or perhaps DLC?

Certainly one to watch. In the meantime, fill your ocular light suckers with this recent multiplayer trailer. (video on source site)

Call Of Duty: Black Ops is due for global release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC on November 9.
