HALO2:Gives me motion sickness

Anyone else have a problem with motion sickness after playing this game? I don't get it because I played Halo1 with no problems. But now, with this game I can't play longer than 30 minutes before I have to stop. Could be I'm just getting too old to play these games

Maybe it's the bad graphics messing with your mind

not really. you have to rapidly click the right or left trigger when using SMG. i can hit people in multiplayer from midrange like that.

Yeah, Halo 2 was kind of a let down. I beat it in what, a few days? (I had to leave time for school, so I could only play it on the weekends with my brother). Maybe you are getting too old for video games (very very tragic). How old are you?

It's actually a medical problem, and they can trace it to a number of things, usually obviously to do with the way the graphics are done. Some coping mechanisms are either turning the lights on or off (depending how you play), and moving your chair either further away or closer. You'll have to experiment and see if any of these help. I had to move my chair closer when I got this problem with Duke 3D many years ago
