Do you play Inverted or Default

[[cc]z@nd!]

i play normal, and i think the 'lean' argument for inverted is kinda dumb. if i were going to aim for the sky, i'd mainly move the gun and look up, not lean my whole body backwards.

overall, it doesn't really matter much, you can still aim with both.

I do either. When I was playing those old timesplitters games and goldeneye, and the original Halo, I was too young to figure out how to change them, and partially too lazy, so I adapted to both options.

Ever since it was imposed on me by GTA: SA, I play inverted.

[WaeV]

I was normal, then my only exposure to a console for three months was stuck on inverted, so I adjusted. Now I remain inverted.

It's like a disease: the game was on inverted because a friend had set it that way, because he got used to inverted at his other friends house...

You don't lean your head back to look up? Damn, you must have fantastic field of view. My reasoning behind Inverted wasn't even supported by "leaning your whole body". There's no point in insulting my reasoning; and using incorrect logic to do is even more pointless. That said, the fact remains - Everyone plays and feels it differently. To me, the "leaning" factor feels more natural. I wasn't trying to impose the idea. To others, the concept of a less personal, "looking" factor feels more natural. It's a matter of personal preference; and I was simply stating mine with a reason to back it up.

On a side note: As far as inverted looking goes in game.. aside from Wii first person shooters, most console games do make their avatar lean back and forward when the player looks up and down. They do that because it looks more natural, rather than having the player throw its arms up and down and shooting, rather looking up and down as well during the aiming process.

Sorry if that came across a little harsh, but please don't insult my reasoning.

Inverted. Started from using joysticks and they were always inverted for me since I liked simulating that of some sort of fighter pilot.

[xXxCocoFangxXx]

Inverted! When I play Halo it's also 10 sensitivity!

[Andrew_b]

I just figured out. I play both. I usually am playing PC games. When im walking i am normal. When im flying, im inverted.

[SHOUTrvb]

Oh, that reminds me.. My post applies mainly to console games. However, a similar concept applies to PC in that Normal is a more universal system. It's just a different play-angle.

Well yeah, flying games are another story, I play inverted there as well, as it's more natural (you'd pull back on the joystick to go up, so...).

[WaeV]

Does anyone use inverted with a mouse? I've only really heard of people using inverted on consoles.

[JK-47]

Depends on the system.
I generally play normal, as that's my preferred setting for the Xbox.
With the Playstation, I play either depending on the game.

[G.I.R.]

For the longest time I played normal, then I picked up Halo 2 or something and it was set on invert; I got confused, but eventually adapted. I always use inverted on consoles now, but normal on PC. My friends are always annoyed when they come over to play, because all my games are set to invert.

[Cuda]

Depends on the game. Any flying game, I go inverted. Console FPSs and others that involve a controller, I play normal.

[kibito87]

Default.

I agree, that is why I almost never fly in Battlefield 1942, I lack a joystick and trying to fly a plane with an inverted mouse just feels weird.

[MrBalll]

Default.

[Danke]

Both. At the same time.

DrXThirst doesn't aim, he merely strafes you into his reticle.

I play Normal. I play inverted on Turok 2: Seeds of Evil for N64, and only this game, which I play with the glove:

[JK-47]

:O

I think it was starfox that got me inverted.
