Please, remove the head bob from the game! This isnt really a simulation option, your head doesnt bob like that in real life, your spine hold up your neck and absorbs shock. All head bob-ing does is give people motion sickness. After playing a good 2 hours of the game my head hurts and has a headache. Atleast maybe add in an option to disable it.
Last I checked, your head does move when you sprint IRL....
The head bobbing is a little excessive in this game. It's understandable as to why they put it in, but it either needs to be tuned down or give the option to turn it off. I get used to it, but if I start thinking about it I definitely start to get some motion sickness.
there won't be an option to turn it off because it would give players an advantage.
Seems fine as it is IMO. [editline]14th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=digitom;43913410]there won't be an option to turn it off because it would give players an advantage.[/QUOTE] Doubt that. We can already turn the grass off which is really stupid.
There needs to be an option to turn off your head entirely IMO
[QUOTE=digitom;43913410]there won't be an option to turn it off because it would give players an advantage.[/QUOTE] It doesn't affect your aim or anything, and you can't shoot while sprinting anyway. What would be the clear-cut advantage to not bobbing around? [QUOTE=Warm;43913415] Doubt that. We can already turn the grass off which is really stupid.[/QUOTE] Grass will be forced on when the performance bugs are worked out.

It just seems (As ive asked about on servers) that it just gives people who have motion sickness a hard time to play the game. Nobody wants to play the game with a headache

I just wondered what the big advantage would be that digitom thinks people would get from disabling it (other than not feeling sick) that would make it unfair to those who left it enabled.
The head bobbing is stupid. If you argue realism then you already lost (and should know why). At least have an option to turn it off.
[QUOTE=digitom;43913410]there won't be an option to turn it off because it would give players an advantage.[/QUOTE] Yet there is an option to turn off the tall grass that you can actually hide in...were you dropped on your head as a child? The advantage argument has been beat to death, fact is you bob mainly when sprinting at which time you can't shoot anyone. Which offers more of an advantage, the 90% of the world you can turn off or the 10% of a head bob that has nothing to do with close quarter short range combat.
I like the head bobbing personally. But yeah, I agree there should be an option to turn it off for those who suffer from motion sickness.
I just want some randomness added to it, feels like I'm limping. Edit: this is mainly just polish and so stupidly low priority.
[QUOTE=StrangeWill;43918571]I just want some randomness added to it, feels like I'm limping.[/QUOTE] Right, it almost feels as if your screen is shaking around, and around... and around......
Your eyes remain stable while sprinting. Head-bob is unrealistic.
I suffer from motion sickness because of the head bobbing... I almost get used to it after a while, but still causes me headaches from time to time. Please, as everybody said, removing it doesn't give any advantage because you can't shoot while running, so, please... add an option to disable it, please.
[QUOTE=Zalewski;43912859]Last I checked, your head does move when you sprint IRL....[/QUOTE] Except in reality, your head bobs, not your view. The fact that the image bobs and your head remains in place coupled with the low FoV is a secret recipe for motion sickness, along with headaches, and other such ailments.
There is already a topic regarding motion sickness created here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1356072&p=43733869[/url] Please post there and bring this to the attention of the developers. I have also posted on Garry Newman's AMA on reddit but did not get a response yet. Hope we can have an option to disable head bobbing if the user desires in console.
didnt notice it after 180 hours played, stop being pussys plz
I really like the head bobbing.
[QUOTE=arcidin;43921773]didnt notice it after 180 hours played, stop being pussys plz[/QUOTE] Did you not read the string? Are you that stupid? People have MOTION SICKNESS, we want an OPTION to disable it, nobody is being a pussy, we simply dont like to pay a game with a headache
Hmm i get motion sickness from nearly every game. Don't get it at all in rust which is most likely why i've been playing for 110+ hour's
Well until they fix this im not playing the game. And believe me, im not the only one that is not playing due to this feature.
The head bob in this game does not affect me at all, if anything, i like it.
[QUOTE=LostSandwich;43929802]The head bob in this game does not affect me at all, if anything, i like it.[/QUOTE] The thing is, it does affect some people severely, and it is just PURELY an atheistic function of the game. How fucking hard is it to put an option in?! Pisses me off that the new update hasn't added this yet, do they even read the forums? It just seems that they completely disregard the whole string of posts and go on about what THEY think they should be doing.
What do you guys think? Yes, there should be an option, or No, I like being dizzy?
An option should be granted as it gives me a head ache
Well, its just more of an annoyance to players, i wish they would remove it [editline]18th February 2014[/editline] Nobody is going to be shooting when they are running, which is when you CANT SHOOT. You can only fire when you are walking so it makes no diffrence

Head bobbing+tight FOV generally means a strange sick headache and nausea for me. Some games are unplayable for me when they don't have the option. I suspect the wide open spaces are a factor. If I was walking through tunnels or buildings a lot it might be different. That said, I understand the problem and this should always be an option in games. Game induced motion sickness really really really really sucks.
Because it doesn't bother me other people should just have to deal with it and endure the pain. Edit: I'm an asshole. /sarcasm
