Frequent screen shake makes game unplayable

The addition of constant screen shake when shot at during missions makes the game unplayable for some people. I enjoyed the game thoroughly during the beta, but at release the suppression effect was added to normal enemy gunfire.

I understand that the players aim needs to be disrupted, but the lack of a toggle in menus to disable the screen shake means that I am physically exhausted after a single game. Flinching in response to screen shake is not uncommon for people who have traumatic brain injuries at some point in the life.

Please consider reverting this change or adding a toggle in menus for screen shake.
