Why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023) can trigger motion sickness
This is a first-person shooter, so most of what you see is movement you do not feel. Motion blur smears the world and the weapon while you turn, and camera movement adds movement of its own. Activision lists both as settings that players adjust, and the field of view controls how much of the scene you see at once. The settings screen is also tagged by type, with tags for motor, vision, audio and cognitive options that you can filter.
- World motion blur and weapon motion blur while turning
- Camera movement effects layered over your own movement
- Constant first-person turning in multiplayer matches
