Invert your mouse?

[GheeTsar]

It used to be the norm to have inverted look controls for FPS games (ie: move the mouse up the pad to look down and vica versa) , but now the default is to not invert the controls. I've never been able to readjust and always invert my mouse look. How about you?

I always hated this on console fps games and had to change it to non inverted.

I changed over about 2 years ago and haven't looked back since.

One of my earliest mouse gaming memories was with X-wing on the mac, and as they were flight controls, I got used to the inverted method. This then got transferred to other games, and is now my norm for TPS and FPS... Tried with the other way, but cant get used to it... And hopefully never will have to, if they always leave the option in.

was there actually any good mouselook FPS before half-life? I know HL old as it was was non-inverted (never really got around to trying quake, I know doom didn't have ML tho)

For a mouse non-inverted, for a stick inverted

^ Sums it up nicely; Real planes are 'inverted' so it's the same ingame.

Can't remember any fps using inverted mouse controls.

Which iconic FPS games have had inverted pitch?
Can't recall any myself but I've always changed it straight away so it's easy to forget and I'm curious

I like it upside down.........baby.....Anything else is just weird.
I don't understand Perfectionist when he says Quake and Doom didn't have mouselook ?? I used to invert those as well.

With doom it didn't originally, your age is showing
It got added later for the win95 version or something I think, not sure of when really

I always use move the mouse up the pad (away from me) to look down and vica versa, anything else just feels wrong, maybe its just me though??

[aidanjt]

*ALWAYS*, without exception. When I push the mouse forward it's like leaning forward, which means looking downwards, and vice versa. Anything else just annoys me.

I've always prefered using non-inverted for mouse-look, whether using a mouse or an analogue stick.

The only time I use inverted is when controlling aircraft, because it's the only time it feels natural to me.

[Paulm@scan]

Correct way is inverted by no doubt way it should be its just wrong the other way..

[Salazaar]

My brain went wrong just now, I voted yes but I meant no. It's those damn consoles I always invert the controls on.

^ This same for me!

With Analog sticks on a console it feels more like a Joystick so its more like pitch on a flight sim. But for mouse its what I consider "normal" mouse away from me to look up, as if my targetting reticule was the cursor on a desktop....
