Why Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 can trigger motion sickness
Activision says the anchors help players affected by fast camera moves or busy screens settle their eyes, and that they leave gameplay unchanged. Its Black Ops 6 post lists graphical options to reduce motion blur, and its Black Ops 7 post says the Black Ops 6 accessibility features return.
- Fast camera moves and busy screens, which Advanced Motion Control is built to ease
- World and weapon motion blur, which the graphical options let you reduce
- A narrow field of view: PCGamingWiki lists 60 to 120 degrees horizontal in first person
