We had reticle shake all the while the mech was in the air and a few people started complaining that they get motion sick from it, while moving with jumpjets. It is my believe (and I can not prove it in any way), that this caused the ones, who didn't want their toys to be taken away, to use it as a valid complaint to get PGI to make a compromise (though I guess they wanted it removed completly). The forum literally exploded with users who were unable to play the game, because they became motion sick.
so that's PGI's backhand then? People didn't like their "extra clever" gimmick of a ****** up reticle, and so they **** up the jumpjets? They could have just as easily changed the accuracy or the damage stats of fire during jets. I'm completely willing to believe that a shaky mech's arms and chest mounted weaponry would vibrato where a digital crosshairs on my digital HUD would not. But no lets punish the lads and kekekeke behind their backs when we take away their air mobility. Only people who used jumpjets were poptarters anyway, right?! Christ on a crumpet!

Watch your consumption of foods, drinks, and alcohol before and during playing MWO.
Avoid excessive alcohol and foods or liquids that "do not agree with you" or make you feel unusually full. Heavy, spicy, or fat-rich foods may worsen motion sickness in some people.
Avoiding strong food odors may also help prevent nausea.
Try to choose a seat where you will experience the least motion. On a Mech, those in lower level Parts near the center of a Mech generally experience less motion than Pilots in higher or outer cockpitss.
Do not sit facing backwards from your direction of travel.
Sit in the front seat of a Mech.
Do not read while piloting if you are prone to motion sickness.
When piloting a Mech, it can sometimes help to keep your gaze fixed on the horizon or on a fixed point.
Open a vent or source of fresh air if possible.
Isolate yourself from others who may be suffering from motion sickness. Hearing others talk about motion sickness or seeing others becoming ill can sometimes make you feel ill yourself.
Ask a doctor if you repeatedly develop severe motion sickness.
These tips are for free but you can donate tenbux if you feel better after using them.
you forgot "do not operate a moving mech if you are a dog"
