You will probably find the laws are not retrospective.

Depending on your view point, seeing a string of bombs falling in front of a bright background (sun, cloud what have you) would produce a series of flashes.

Elpilepsy is one of those things that can remain dormant is a person for their whole life, until the right set of events triggers an episode. The last thing I would want to interrupt my gaming session would be a over night trip to the children hospital if that trait suddenly decided to express itself in one of my children.

1C is just showing us how much they care for their customers.

cheers!

Well, in that case, make the filter an option. Like when I drink 15 beers I have the option to drink them with alcohol and get Sh*** drunk or alcohol free and take proper care of my body.

Thing is LET US DECIDE and LET US TAKE THE RISKS we think are acceptable.

And I agree this is not a health related issue but a legal liability one. And we have to thank that to our fellows americans and their national sport: GREEDY STUPID LAWSUITS. No offense buddies.

None taken. This is a big shock delevered at the last moment. The reactions to it are very understandable.

Cheers!

What I don't get is this:
In real life isnt the flickering of a slow moving propeller (and yes I fly, I know that a prop moving at many speeds can seem invisible, but alot of the time, especially in helicopters, the prop is easily visible), the glittering of the sun, the sudden contrast of a fast moving vehicle going by... a varying contrast situation?

Do epileptics walk around with Anti Seizure glasses on? This just seems to be a reaction to possible law suits taken to the extreme.

I do hope this is made optional, just because I love the flashes and flickers of real life to be seen in a game that is, after all, representing reality.

One can hope eh?

Good grief. I've only skimmed over this thread but please just give us a way to turn this bizarre filter off and the problem is solved. I would imagine the vast majority of epileptics out there who might play CoD know of their condition and could simply keep the filter on.
