The only time I used inverted mouse was on games that the mouse was inverted at default. I would use the inverted mouse feature to make it work normaly.
always !!!! i never stop using it since Yeager ;) I should stop playing if they remove the option from the menu in fact ! It's feel more natural to me like this. hummmm i remember playing Mechwarrior in "normal" mode, but it's the only game that i played like that.
Only in games where it feels naturally that down means up and up means down - flight sims (pushing those thingies on the wings down means going up... and vice versa).

Me too. Not sure where I picked it up, I think maybe Duke3d had it as a default setting (which I played A LOT) but I never bothered to check so far. Maybe someone here knows? Anyway, I tried not doing it but it just doesn't feel right. I could probably loose the habit if I persisted but every game has the option so I always use it..
[QUOTE="Skullheart"]How can one play with inverted mouse controls? Maybe for flight simulators, but first person shooters? I don't see it happening, lol.BLKR4330
It always sort of made sense to me; pulling the mouse back is like pulling your head back to look up..
Exactly, just as in a flight sim, pulling back on the stick makes you go up. It just kinda makes sense. Furthermore, if you look at it from a science perspective, inverted aiming in an FPS is actually technically easier than normal aiming. The reason for this is that it is much easier to pull something than to push it, so it's actually easier to drag the mouse downward than it is to push it up. Therefore, downward movement of the mouse should point your view in whichever direction it would be most beneficial to aim. In really "flighty" games like Quake or UT, you get attacked from above a lot, so it makes sense that you'd want to be able to look up as swiftly as possible. In games like Battlefield or CS, on the other hand, there isn't much of a vertical element to the environments, so it probably doesn't make much difference. My $0.02, anyway. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ;)
This is turning into quite an interesting topic. Are we inverted-mousers really such a minority? I would really love to see this thread grow at least a few more pages so we can find out. What I don't understand is the amount of hate some people have for inverted aiming. It's just a checkbox, guys. :P

Because some games have it default to that.. What kind of FREAK would make it default? I mean, of course the option is cool.. It's a good thing.. But when they make it default to inverted mouse action? HA! How disgusting! Appealing to minorities, those bastards
I do because i remember playing GTASA with inverted mouse option, dunno if it was default, but definitely came from there, havent changed habits since.
I play Inverted mouse. Years ago when games started to have the look up and down feature (yea im old) the default was inverted. Not on all but on alot of the good ones. Most of my friends also use the old school set up of inverted mouse, they are also older vetran gamers. Also most of the youngins use the w a s d keys to move. Us old players use the great than less than keys to straif, right mouse button to move forward. Sounds weird but we gert it done :)
