Normal or inverted?

When I came home from school one day, my dad had bought a new game for our Xbox. Halo: Combat Evolved. I mean, I've never heard of it prior. He left it paused in the living room and I happen to stumple upon it.

It was paused during the second chapter, during one of the warthog drive sequences. He had been walking instead of driving, for whatever reason. He had a half-empty needler and an empty assault rifle. The important thing was, the vertical view controls were inverted. This was maybe one of the first console FPSs I've played, so it didn't strike me. Aaand, every since then, I have to play my console games with the vertical view inverted, I'm just used to it.

So, thanks, Dad.

Makes no sense you say... well, probably because the ones who support your line of thought must feel insecure and stay BEHIND while those who support my pic have no confidence issues and are able to FACE the truth.

Like I said, you LACK 3D thinking.

And your pic, especially the bottom one, completely justifies how much of a stupidass you are.

And there was a reason I didn't even bother with your logic... you sum up your defense to flying controls, and while I agree inverted is best for planes, this is FPS, so you my friend have no real point to say here. No, there was a point. You just didn't bother because you were too stupid to comprehend what I was comparing it too. Like walking through a straight line in 3D, like in FPS or flying through a straight line like in a plane. Same basic principle of moving through 3D space. Apparently you can't seem to read between the lines. I mean really it's pretty damn simple. Mems and a few others have nailed it.

As for my pic, in case you didn't notice is just the pic slash posted but inverted, so you're basically bashing his defense on inverted controls... so thanx for making things easy for me and saved me the trouble of calling you stupid by doint it your self. And I said: BOTTOM ONE. Nice try. Or better yet, to make it simple for a simpleton person like you, THE BOTTOM DRAWING.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm expecting replies from more intelligent users like mems (or at least more than you).

Now excuse me while I LMAO :lol: at your next stupidass, idiotic response.

Normal, the only game I had inverted was maybe ace combat.

Inverted is actually more natural. What do you do when you look up in real life? you move your neck and back backwards. When you look down you bend forward.

I bet you just use the inverted option for vertical controls but use normal for horizontal, and that my friend is where you logic goes to the crapper where it belongs.

You control the VIEW, not the HEAD.

Normal. Inverted only makes sense in flight games.

I invert both axis for all gaming types because it used to be the norm until this gen came around.

Normal for mouse, inverted for joysticks/gamepads.

I played Starfox for the SNES and various shooters and flying games on the 64. Since then, if it's a shooter for a console, I play inverted.

I'm actually surprised at the percents for each preference. My friends made me feel like an idiot for playing inverted all the time, but they can #@^ right off.

When it's mouse and keyboard though, it makes more sense to roll with the cursor being normal. Unless it's a flying game I guess.

Inverted with a stick, and normal with a mouse.

I think I think of controlling a handle on the back of a camera when using a stick. I don't know why I use normal with a mouse, though.

Normal for most things. I use inverted when it comes to air piloting, you know like flying a plane or heli.ShadowDeathX

Yeah, but most games I play have me rotating a viewpoint not controlling a cursor. Controlling a game like Civ V is just like doing things on the desktop, but most games don't work like that.

Usually normal, but when using a helicopter or jet in games such as Battlefield I prefer inverted.

PC with mouse and keyboard = Normal

Console or any game I play on PC with controller = Inverted

Yeah, but most games I play have me rotating a viewpoint not controlling a cursor.

Realistically it's simple PC vs console solution. Consoles had joysticks, so aiming with inverted made more sense, unlike on mouse. But since most shooters nowadays are made by PC and ex-PC devs, the PC style won.
