For FPS's do you use inverted or regular?

 

[ToyMachine228]

Didn't we the same exact thread a while back? Anyway, regular.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

[Shompola]

[Cerebral Palsy]

+1 regular

 

[Matlock]

Inverted for console, regular for PC.

 

[Wario64]

Regular. What, this ain't a flight simulator

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Inverted for console, regular for PC.

that's just fucking alien. you're an alien

 

[Korranator]

Regular

 

[Alcibiades]

on consoles, inverted...

 

[Stryder]

I might as well count myself, although we did just have this thread.

I choose inverted, for both console and PC.

 

[SKluck]

Normal, I'm walking, not flying a fucking plane.

 

[Desperado]

Left control stick: up=forward, down=back, look left/right

Right control stick: up=look down, down=look up, strafe left/right

so I guess that would be inverted. hooray

Inverted for console, regular for PC.

Exactly, with a mouse you are moving your face, move mouse up, face looks up.

Console is like having your thumb on the players head, push forward, look down.

 

[aerofx]

I use inverted if the looking portion of the controls is on the left stick. If it's on the right stick I use regular.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

I play with whatever the game's default is, I don't like screwin around much with options

 

[Shompola]

if I could have my own custom made control for a pad in fps or 3rd person mode it would be this:

left stick = push forward = go forward, push backward = go backward, push left/right = strafe left/right
right stick = push forward = look down, push backward= look up, push left/right = look left/right

This is exactly how Enclave plays btw and is IMO the nearest to "WASD+mouse invert" you can get on a pad.

 

[Evenball]

Always inverted, I can barely control it when it's regular.

 

[AniHawk]

Inverted on any game where it gives me a choice.

 

[stonedwal]

Right now, inverted.

I used regular until about a month ago on PCs, until I played a friend's machine for a couple of minutes which he'd left on inverted...and I couldn't manage to revert back to normal. Initially, I was inverted, but switched a few years back.

Always been inverted for consoles, though.

 

[BlueLegs]

regular

 

[fennec fox]

Sorry regular dumbasses, inverted is the only way to go

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

For FPS's I use regular controls. I only use inverted when playing a flight simulator,

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Inverted on console. Not sure about PC... its just so natural on PC, I never bother to check.

 

[Kefkaff]

Inverted.

Playing X-Wing vs. Tie Fight has me hooked to it.

 

[Ristamar]

that's just fucking alien. you're an alien

"Inverted on console, regular on PC" seemed like a popular choice in the other thread. I use it, too.

 

[Ferrarisimo]

I started on regular when mouse/free-look first-person shooters started popping up like rabbits in the mid-90s, switched to reverse around the Quake II/Dark Forces II in the late 90s, and then switched back to regular during the last couple of years for some reason.

Didn't we just have this argument a week ago? At any rate, the whole debate seems fairly stupid. I don't think that either setup gives you an advantage, it is most likely just a matter of preference. Though it might be interesting to see what the world's best Quake and UT players use......

 

[fallout]

Inverted. Too many hours logged in Wing Commander and such way back when...

 

[The Faceless Master]

Inverted Turok Style/Solitaire/1.2/Southpaw

[Sander]

Regular in everything, for as long as I can remember, except Metroid Prime where I use the default inverted. Kinda weird. I changed a few times though (in MP) and realized a) you adapt really fast b) it doesn't matter what you use.

 

[shibbs]

regular

+1

 

[Gantz]

Regular. Inverted is so fucking awkward.

 

[Dagon]

Inverted.

Something snapped in me a little while ago. I've been playing regular for ever, and then I just decided to give inverted another go. Now I can hardly control my character if it's not inverted.

Stupid brain...

 

[Ranger X]

Inverted. Always.

As for the fucking plane argument.... maybe planes controls like that in the first place because "inverted" comes more naturally or something...

 

[Wario64]

I'm surprised how many people use inverted. I guess I'm part of the minority

 

[crawlingpeter]

i only use inverted when i play crimson skies

 

[Oni Link 666]

I use inverted on consoles and regular on PC.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Regular.

 

[Kuramu]

Inverted, and i think it's more natural that way whereas regular is more abstracted and unnatural

imagine the analog stick is a tiny version of your head and neck. if you push your thumb forward, your head will be looking down.

 

[Odysseus]

Inverted.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Inverted, I pretty much can't play regular.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Inverted on PC.

I'm able to adjust a bit better to either setting with dual-analogs on consoles.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Default.

I hate inverted but if I stop to try and change it I just get confused.
