Camera shake while running!?!

Recommended Posts

O.K. Only had a quick go so far, but the camera motion whilst running nearly made me sick. As far back as OFP, BIS have simulated the visual motion of running and it's pretty good, but this is something else akin to cinema visuals, such as Blair Witch, Cloverfield, et-al. Looking through your eyes and looking at an image through a viewfinder are 2 very different things. Your eye muscles and your brain stabilise the image as you move through the world, whereas a camera does not. I can only think BIS have done this under influence from the glitzy and immediate needs of the console market demanding 'realism'. Shame, it's just bloody annoying. Love to see a patch that could fix this issue as the rest of the game looks absolutely stunning. Really.:)

Did I reload whilst running or did I imagine it?:j:

Check the options menu. There is a way to disable it. I cannot remember exactly where, but it is possible.

I gotta say i love the head-bob, but when i first played ARMA2 and didnt know it was in the options (100% phew!) i got motion sick and it lasted to the next day! haha damn... Was at work telling everyone i was feeling sick and could puke at any second. Why? they asked. Uhhmm playing a videogame lol.

Embarressing. :D

Its good now though having it at 30-40% and gotten used to it. Awesome feature.

I like head bob but at about 20-30%. Someone said try running around with max head bob and ... just wow.

At first I was annoyed with the head bob. Then, after forcing myself to use it I noticed I lived a LOT longer because I was less inclined to run from one place to the next, forcing me to move a lot slower.

"forcing me"

Why pray tell does anyone need to be forced to play a certain way? No offence intended. I hate the word "forced". Force is unnatural. Just play tactically. And by golly I do use the sprint, quite alot running from cover to cover. The balance for using the sprint, is your crosshairs spreading apart, hampering your ability to aim effectively till you catch your breathe. Genius idea on BIS` part.

I set my bob very low btw, it feels natural/right. Another genius addition by allowing the players to adjust to their liking.

yeah I can only do about 25%..any more and I get headaches. I cranked it up all the way just to see and I almost fell out of my chair. I have no idea why it goes so high; but oh well

When i played the demo i got dizzy, but now in retail the default setting fits me good :)

I actually didn't knew it was adjustable until reading it here, thanks for letting me know ;)
