Indeed, the non-inverts are weird.

Jellis?
Swag for you thanks to Jessica and Jay.
Swag for you thanks to Jessica and Jay.
Thanks for posting the controller layouts.
Default makes sense for me, so I'm set.
(I don't try and act like I'm retro superior, but I've never felt the reason to switch away. Halo's default controls always clicked for me, and returning to the single-wield system for Reach felt really good for me... didn't like bumper reloads.
ONI patches look nice.

Guys, I think we need to start a PayPal donation account and get a new pair of glasses for Wu.

In foreign countries that can be of the highest compliments I think I heard once or something.

I've always played inverted and I'm right handed. Playing normal is so insanely odd for me to control in the same sense as writing successfully with my left hand. This is not to say that inversion is righties or lefties but to give a correlation of the experience I feel on normal controls.
There are quite a few theories regarding this phenomenon and I find it quite interesting, but this explanation seems the most logical and potentially provable to me:
"Down is Up?"

A mouse cursor doesn't arc when you look up and down creating what the avatar you are controlling is seeing. Looking up and down in a game is like looking up and down in real life, there's a semi-circle arc to it, if there wasn't the reticle would just move up and down, you wouldn't look at the ceiling and your feet. When you look up, you're looking from zero degrees to 90 (if zero is straight ahead). That's why it feels more like you are controlling the back of the head. This is not what a mouse does, so playing non-inverted screws with my head. Thus why it makes more sense to me, to play inverted.
There really isn't a right way though. To each their own.

holy shit all this new info. are you telling me switching grenades isn't up on the D-pad though? I thought that was the whole point but I guess push to talk still exists. I think. Wait, does it?

This is on the back (or front depending which country you're from) of the Silentium poster.

Well if you wanna get super technical, you're kinda pushing forward and pulling backward on the joystick, not up or down

They talk about this in the new Sparkast. He's played by the dude that played Colossus in the Xmen movies. When I saw Colossus I assumed they used visual trickery to make him look that big, but nope: the dude's just a giant.
anyone?
That's an interesting article, thanks. It reminds me of scrolling in OS X and iOS--while I get how it's natural to move your finger "up" on the screen to scroll down, I immediately turned off "natural" scrolling in the latest version of the desktop OS because that same schema makes no sense when you're using an input device like a mouse.
But there are still Halo 5 and 6 which are probably also have to deal with some of the stuff that is explained there.Hmm, not sure I'll care after H4 comes out.
a good read? I don't know I found it a little bit boring, not the story itself but the writing was icecold.
But yes this is explained/ starts to be explained there

I'd advise against buying it. But that's just me...
The takeaway from the book could be summed up in less than a sentence.

Not sure if you guys caught Frank's post on the Gaming side about the new Halo 4 console.
The shit is translucent.
Kind of a big deal imo. Changes my opinion on the design quite a bit.

That's if you define up and down as part of a global reference frame and not the local with respect to the controller. In the local, it's forward and backward irrespective of how you orient the controller.NOT THE WAY I HOLD A CONTROLLER.

To get double secret probation technical, this is why things should be inverted and you're all crazy!

Edit: I like how the video is split fairly evenly between likes and dislikes...

I play Y inverted/X normal on shooters like Halo and Gears, but on shooters where you have to move the actual reticule across the screen (like Rez and Child of Eden) I need to play normal on both axis. Funny thing is, with 3rd person adventure games like Okami, I have to invert both X and Y.
BTW, I've never played a flight simulator of any kind.

Sounds pretty cool, I wonder what that means for the design.. I'll have to see it a video or something, Im not the biggest fan of it still..Too much going on IMO.
