Poll: Do You Invert?

[Pimppeter2]

I did in Halo 2, but not in Halo 3. Which is weird. But I guess It depends on the game

 

[CoverYourHead]

Depends. If I pick up a new game and the controls are inverted then I'll use them, the only problem comes when I try to switch back and forth a lot. But I don't really invert that much now because most games don't have it as the default.

I never do because it makes the game that much more confusing to me.

Using a mouse-keyboard: no.
Using a controller: always. I can't NOT invert, it's unnatural.

My theory is that since I know how to fly a plane in real life, I have always known that pulling the stick back makes you go up and pushing the stick forward makes you go down, and doing anything else makes you crash.

I can't play a game unless the y-axis is inverted or I'll always be shooting the sun or my feet. Silent Hill: Homecoming didn't come with an inverted y-axis option (except for aiming I know) and it was one of the hardest gaming experiences just for that. *shame* Usually I wouldn't bother trying to re-teach my brain to work without it inverted but since I'm such a huge Silent Hill fan I be-grudgingly went on....painful experience.

That's the reason I hated that game. It tried to make me forget 10 years of muscle memory.

What about if you're playing a flight-game with a mouse and keyboard?? Wouldn't your experience of stick-control mean that you'd want an inverted mouse?

1) I have my SideWinder right here next to me. The day is trade that in for a mouse is the day I die.
2) However, if by any chance I happened to play Flight Sim without a joystick, I'd opt out of using the mouse. Before buying the joystick I used the F1-F4 keys for the throttle, F5-F8 for the flaps, the number keys for the displays (GPS, radio, etc). I used the numpad for movement (I did, in fact, use it inverted. By pressing 8 I pitched down and pressing 2 made me go up).
The best use of the mouse in a flight sim game is for it to become like your hand. That way, you can manually reach the dials whose corresponding keyboard key you've forgotten, like the trims, the lights, the mixture, etc.

Addendum: When I played Battlefield 1942, I flew the planes with an inverted mouse.

Never. It's horrible, I can't even begin to fathom how people can play with inveerted. Flight simulators being the exception to the rule.
