Activision has just announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops will feature optional stereoscopic 3D for gamers with 3D-Ready HDTVs and PCs. Basically, that means you can wear a pair of active shutter glasses, and pretend everything's totally real.

"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," says Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch.

I think they've totally missed a marketing opportunity here, though - just imagine, limited edition night vision goggles with active shutter lenses!

Call of Duty: Black Ops is launching world wide, with 3D, on 9 November.
