Really want to play, but within minutes I start getting sick. I think it's the jerkiness of the graphics--not criticizing it as maybe that's more realistic--just sayin'.

I can play Medal of Honor 2010 all day--no problem, though I did get sick at first from BC2, but I got over that, but I never could play Crysis because of motion sickness.

Anyone else having a problem? Any tips--graphics settings or whatever?

25mg Meclizine should do the trick.

Not at all... And I would be one of the first few to get motion sickness over anyone. Half Life 2 gave me nausea, as well as Metro 2033 until I fixed the FOV. But HL2 finally has a video option for FOV you can set yourself. Black Ops at default is perfectly fine, but I guess not for you. :P It's going to be different for everyone. See if there's an FOV tweak. Some developers lock configuration settings *cough Medal of Honor's Danger Close cough*

The last time I can remember getting sick / feeling strange from any FPS was the "Water Hazard" level on Half-Life 2 - if you turn down your detail settings it should smooth out the framerate some instead of going from really smooth to choppy - which is what caused me to get light-headed/dizzy. To sum it up, I think there must be scenes where it's perfectly smooth with interruptions of choppiness and that's probably the cause.

There is actually an FOV setting in the normal options. I remember this because I was very shocked to see it after all the uproar from MW2 regarding FOV.

Black OPS is the only game in recent memory that gave me eye strain. Theres just something different about how this game looks that I can't pinpoint. It got so bad I actually had to take a break:shock:

When I played WOW I got the motion sickness every single time I logged on. It had nothing to do with how long I was playing it either. This light headedness or whatever it was happened in short sessions too.

DeViLzzz
Wow. That's like the last game I ever want to have motion sickness or nausea with.. seeing as how you have the best experience playing in longer sessions. I had no such problem. Thank goodness.
