Blurred vision with a touch of sway when sprinting is definitely a superb idea, kinda reminds me of Crysis.
In FH2 there's some sort of tunnel vision when flying planes at full speed, so I suppose this can be done in PR for jets as well.

Let me clear up a few things...
I was speaking from the point of "blurred vision" being the result of having sprinted. As if someone sprinted so far and so hard that their vision was blurred.

Now....I can understand the limited periphreal vision while at a sprint. What I hate even more is that vision is blurred because a round passes close by. That is even more annoying.

You need the blurred vision when a round passes by because I have been in situations where I was firing a SAW directly at someone from about 40 meters and he took all the time he needed, looking straight at me, crouched, to pop a headshot, completely ignoring all the bullets that were within one inch of him.

I hear you...but I dont see the link between the deviation of fire for the SAW vs. the non-realistic blurred vision.
So it is added not so much for realism....but instead to enhance the firefight in favor of the person who has the obvious drop on the other?
(as in leo's situation where he fired first)

Jonny...I see what you mean .
I see how it works in game.
Its just not very realistic IMO.

I can see that.

It's the age-old problem - virtual players do not value their virtual lives.

In reality, if someone opens up on me with a LMG from 100m away, there's no way on god's clean earth that I'm going to stand up and calmly try and take a shot at him.

In PR I can, because if a round passes through my eyeball instead of causing the back of my skull to fly off in a big messy lump, I just wait 30 seconds and start again.

The "surpressive effects" (blurring, funny hearing etc) from when a round passes next to you is to add an artificial reduction in the combat effectiveness of a player. Sure, you might WANT to stand up and take accurate shots at the guy hosing your position with a .50 cal, but you're not going to hit him while your sights are blurry.

It doesn't work nearly as well as I'd like it to - I'd be quite happy seeing the distance that you receive blurry vision from nearby rounds doubled.

Makes total sense!

God dam you and your sensibility Jonny, bringing peace everywhere

Though I've never experienced the motion sickness in a game I could understand why some would get it.

My point with head sway is that when you run through the woods and the trees you have to bob and weave your head to avoid getting stuck in the eye by a rogue twig. Running through the desert I could imagine covering your eyes from sand etc.

Could be compensated for with a bit more blurriness I 'spose but I like the idea of when I'm full on pegging it my head is bobbing and its all going crazy and arrgghH!!!! dive into the ground and all becomes still....

Anyone catch that?

In other words I think the best option is a bit of both (head bob and blur) when sprinting.
Reason being is you're going to be ducking and weaving if you sprint through woodland, to avoid getting twigged in the eye, The desert you've got sand getting in your eyes etc.

Just in general you're wieghed down with quite a bit of kit so full on sprinting for your life from cover to cover isn't going to be a smooth steady ride.
I for one want to feel that franticness as I run across the uneven ground, kit bouncing everywhere.

I don't think a bit of bobbing would be too bad whilest sprinting only along with some blurring effect just to get that "pushing it" feeling.... Removing the sprint meter and hearing your breath change at different intervals of the sprint would be good if it could be done.

Edit @ Jaymz, Naaah not enough bobbing! Can you see the MEC sniper in the bottom right hand corner at 12 seconds? *sigh* they never get it right

That's exactly it, Jaymz! Just like in real life!

Thx Jonny. Lucky you know what I mean since we speak trough ventrilo. Thx For your support.

Put the fear of death into people by reseting thier scores too zero if they die.

It wouldnt change a thing. I think 80% of the people on here could care less about the score. Its more or less how much ground their team has gained thats what gives me my sense of accomplishment.

No one is that fast.
