I have the same problem with you, now that I work 24/7 with computer, playing fps games makes it worst. I feel you bro!

But according to the definition of motion sickness, the cause should be because you thought urself were in the game whereby u play until u blend urself into the game. I have no prob wif FPS game but if i play more than 3 hours and alot of tense part, i still feel motion sickness. Maybe because myself blended into it

I get a headache playing gta4 and hl2. possible the hdr thingy and the bloom. gta4 maybe cos of the crazy camera view.

Fps for life!

hmm... tbh it also happens to me....

When previously... few years ago when i was like taking foundation, i could play CS whole god damn day >.<, and when BF2142 launches, i can also just play all day without dizzy-ness, and it continues up to COD4 where.. that's my LAST dedicated FPS.. until i decided to follow up my studies...

Until few weeks ago.. i have heard COD MW2... where i was anticipatingly waiting (but also a little sad due to some.. activision doings) is coming out.. so i went back into COD4 to have some testings and learn back some basic FPS shooting... BUT.. guess what.. first 10 mins in Killhouse = feel like vommiting d.... i am VERY sure each and every settings of COD4 is NEVER changed before, including the resolution, quality, refresh rate.. and bla bla bla... Just like what it was almost up to 9 months + ago when i stopped...

tried again next day.. still feel like vommiting... +_+ Omg... does this tell me that i WILL never have a good day playing FPS anymore?

(btw L4D is ok for me, but Just... extensive fast paced games like COD4 is having problems... Same goes to the Both Online FPS game, sudden attack and blackshot.. i can't Seem to get used to it ANYMORE! )

maybe i need to think.. with the few more days before MW2 official launches of the reason why.. it's totally unplay-able.. Anymore

lastime i play call of juarez at PC it really make me a headache lol maybe cuz the map in the game is bright i think

My friend watch me play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and they say they feel not well when watching me playing because I am an aggressive player that rushing all time with MP5 in some maps.

Maybe, you should put your mind inside the game, so you will feel better and perform better. Maybe your mind is not in the game.

maybe too much fps.. frames per second, imagine your brain captured images 200fps in hl2 compared to 40-60fps in crysis.. or the screen is too big, try playing in windows mode

btw... try changing your mouse.. i felt dizzy too playing borderlands(pc) using mouse/keyboard, now playing it using gamepad (ps3 controller)

i have the exact same problem..cannot play FPS at all! if play 15 minutes, sure start to feel nauseous...tried many different games, also cannot...not only limited to games, movies like blair witch project also same...i've deduced that it's becoz of the rapid camera movement....sad!

Yes, i got the same thing too. one suggestion. try moving your head as well instead of just the eye. It is not a complete cure in my part but at least it helps me last longer. Previously I only need to play like 10 mins and I was so nauseated and feel like vomit like crazy. Sitting upright would help too. At least don't let your body be in super relax mood. Squeeze an hour or so is better than nothing.

lol will try it tonight..MW2

i'm lossing my edge either or maybe because there to many FPS games in the market.from MW2 - badcompany bla bla bla.perhaps i agree it's better and enjoyable with pc than console, btw i love my MGS Series.

Bro, I have the same condition. I think it's due to PC screens getting bigger. Go with a smaller screen and see if it helps. Also try sitting further away from the monitor.

heii.. i got this problem too when i play mw2. i felt a real sharp headache right between my eyes after a couple of hrs playing. so everytime i play mw2 i never played more than 2 hrs.

im not much of an fps player. i have only played bioshock (1), farcry 2 & mw2 on ps3 so far. then last week i started to play killzone 2. guess what? i can play for 4 hrs straight. man.. killzone 2 online is very addictive. my sharp headache is nothing. idk why is it when i play killzone 2 im not experiencing fps sickness at all as i am when playing mw2? maybe i should try playing mw2 again n see what happens but lol.. im busy hunting killzone 2 online weekly trophy.. no time to play mw2.

heii.. try not to play fps when ur tired or with empty stomach. but do play after u had enough rest. i mean.. play with a fresh mind n body..lol

the motion sickness that i get was Far cry 2......

worst case is metroid on WII.... i play it 1st it was ok...then came back 3 month later continue the game...play 30 minutes..almost went to toilet to vomit...one week later speed rush thru the game and finish..but no dizzy..

play FPS till now, only half life: team fotress can make me feel vomit.....

haha... my favorite game genre... FPS!!! haha

I have that all my life, that's why i can't play fast paced FPS. Glad to know I'm not alone

FPS weakling here! All my life can never play an FPS game in peace. CS, COD, Serious Sam, etc etc.

I remember i wanted to play KZ2 soooo badly but within 20 mins feel like vomiting already. But surprisingly when play multiplayer the effects are abated. Perhaps graphics too nice liao in Single Player. HAHA

of all the fps

only medal of honour series made me dizzy, the rest no problem (on pc and console)
