Wait, so I see alot of inverted, and alot of default.

Who are the freaks here? WE MUST DECIDE!

 

[carbonbased]

It's simple really:

Invert on consoles, because the analog stick is like a flightstick in practice.

Default on PC's, because you're using a mouse. You want your crosshairs/viewpoint to move wherever the mouse pointer does.

*Ding ding ding*

This man is correct.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

So defaults are the freaks!?

 

[deadhorse32]

Invert = NO.

Default = Yay.

He speaks the truth

 

[Fafalada]

Invert (with a mouse, I can't play a FPS any other way).
I tried playing without invert and kept tripping all over myself... almost as bad as when I first switched from keyboard to mouse...

In first person games I always go default, it's just right. But in 3rd person inverted is usually good, because it's like an infinite line coming out of the front and back of your gun, and you are tilting that. It's good because it gives you the right sense of manipulating the camera as well as your gun, and tilting to a correct line of fire is how you aim a gun in real life anyway. I can go either way in 3rd person, but on PC I still prefer default for 3rd person because the mouse is still a very point-and-click thing.

I use Inverted controls with the flight stick (that's only natural), but FPSs? eeeeeew.

Same here. A gun isn't a plane.

 

[TTP]

I guess I've played too many flight sims in the Amiga era 'cos now I have to invert whenever I control a crossair. On console tho.

 

[bob_arctor]

Inverted is the only method personally endorsed by God.

'Sides, I think of it like this: when I need to look up, I roll my head back, look down, roll my head forward. Kinda like a flight stick.

It's not worth playing FPSes without a mouse, so I use normal for them naturally. The thing is, I sometimes run into a problem with normal/invert in third person games.

For third person games that use dual analog control, I prefer inverted controls. However, when I go into first person sniping mode in a third person game, I'll sometimes get confused and expect normal movement instead of inverted. Certain things can mitigate this effect, for instance a zooming in animation when I go into first person view can do a better job of keeping my brain oriented to the inverted scheme.

It's pretty annoying when this kind of mental disconnect happens in the middle of a frantic situation. :/

Give me five minutes and I can use either one -- it's just a matter of my brain adjusting.

That said, I prefer inverted.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Stick control = Inverted
Mouse control = Default

So in battlefield 1942/vietnam my controls switch between inverted and default during the game lol. It works for me .

Exactly. I've played games at default, and it felt normal after a bit of practice.

Still, i'd rather just play inverted .

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Im an invert kind of man. Dont know why.

 

[SA-X]

I can get used to either, but I prefer default, on both console and pc.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Inverted all day, regardless of game.

 

[Takosuke]

Invert !
If these games was meant to be played 'normally' (up=up), the invert option would not exist !

I inverted for years(pc and console), but one time playing Halo I figured Id try to switch, it took me like 15 mins to re wire the brain, and since then been using default, cause well, its default.
