Inverted

I actually used to play all my games with the inverted control scheme, and I couldn't even walk straight with the normal control scheme. But the second time I played Halo 2, I created a new profile, and forgot about changing the controls to inverted. Oddly enough, I didn't even notice it until much later, and when I tried to switch back to inverted, I felt completely drunk.

btw When you think about it, inverted is actually a more natural control scheme, that's more in-line with real life. Think about it, if you look up in real life, you tilt your head backwards, and when you look down, your head tilts forward. That's basically what the inverted control scheme does in games as well.

Inverted. It just feels weird the other way. Besides, I'll be that more prepared if I ever hop into a fighter jet.maddog95376

You said it best, my man.

I was terrible at Halo when it came out until I found out about inverted. Now I'm pretty good atmost shooters. Just wondering, what's the percentage of inverted gamers? I've never met anyone who does.Elvenglade

Most play shooters the normal way, I play inverted myself.

I dont like inverted, why did they make itmosa922

Inverted makes no sense...whyyyyyy was it made exactly? Boggles the mind. RadioGooGoo

I believe it is because I grew up in the age of Goldeneye for the N64, which I'm pretty sure came out before Halo, then to my guess Halo came out and f*** everything up by putting non-inverted as default. Now a lot of fps games are doing non-invert as default, it just depends which game or which gaming era you started playing fps games in. When I play my friends they almost all use non-inverted, but then when I play my older brother and his friends we all use inverted, kind of backing up my inference.

IMO I think that inverted makes more sense, I mean just imagine your controlling the person with the joystick, if you pull it back, your making the joystick look up (it faces forward when in the middle) and if you push it down, it looks down. Also the controls of airplanes do this, because it makes sense.

Anyway I think it would be a lot less of a hassle if controller designers started making the switch of invert/non-invert on the controller so there will be less arguments.
