So, yeah, I was playing Time Crisis 3 last night and couldn't get the damned crosshair where I wanted cos it was not inverted. Whenever I play FPS, I prefer inverted mode better than normal up-up, down-down.

Cast your vote and tell me WHY is it some persons like inverted more than normal controls! :huh:

I must say I'm an inverted man myself. It's amazing just how retarded you become when you try and do it the opposite way.

LOL! Yeah! :lol:
It also affects the way you scroll the crosshair left and right too! It gets really frustrating! :x

That depends: For console FPS, I like the inverted crosshair, but I prefer normal on the PC.

I don't play many FPS but I really haven't really ventured outside the generally default, normal, setting. It suits me fine.

Normal my good man. Up is up and down is down.
What can I say altough on console I like the stick inverted. Just like Shadow Link. errrr

Normal on both PC and consoles. Just feels right.

It depends, I know when I played Crimson Skies I had it inverted, being an aeroplane game it just felt more comfortable. But for other games, I usually prefer normal, as in, un-inverted.

Inverted only for Flying games. Other than that, not a chance in hell. Can't stand it.

Inverted all the way baby....

I use both and it varies for each game. However, I use inverted often then normal

Inverted. I grew up on games which had inverted controls and it's always seemed kind of natural.

Bah. Who playts normal alignment? I can't imagine playing non-inverted. It'd just screw up my perception of reality.

Console and PC FPS both require an inverted option for me to play half decently. :)

I can't live without inverted. Somehow doing it the "normal" way feels, well...wrong. Very wrong. I see the controller like plane controls, so in that way, inverted makes perfect sense...

I always thought I was a staunch invertalist (er, it's a word, honest!) as every FPS I've played in the last few years (all console games) I've played inverted. But then yesterday I played Far Cry on PC at an Internet Cafe (my PC being useless for gaming nowadays). I immediately set the mouse to inverted but I quickly realised that I just couldn't play like that. So, I'm an invertalist for consoles and a defaultalist (er, it's another word, honest!) for PC games. Like Shadow Link.

By the way, DZ, you were playing Time Crisis 3 with a control pad!? You're insane.

I'm all natural.

If there isn't an inverted option, I won't play it. :P So inverted all the way.

Is FPS Up is up, Down is down.

But in flying games it's different, forward is lean forward, and back is lean back.


It makes sence. ;)

I used to be all about the inverted.

But for some reason it all changed this generation of consoles, don't know why, but I can't stand inverted anymore *shrugs*

It doesn't really matter to me - I find it very easy to adapt. In other words, I'm a very quick learner ;)

Other people, (like my Dad, for instance) just can't get used to inverted, so he's a bit of a normal man himself. It doesn't really bother me what the game is though, because I'm easy, either way.

Psssst: DZ, you should add that option to the poll; 'I'm easy' :P

Depends on the game. For just about everything (ie. shooter) than I prefer normal. But for flight sims, I prefer inverted though normally I'll be using a joystick for this.

I'm an inverted man. It's just a much more natural feeling with a joystick.

Hmm, people, we aren't talking flight sims here, but crosshairs! :|
And, yeah Buffoon, I play TC3 with the pad. *sigh* I still haven't got a G-Con! :(

I am a normal man...

HOWEVER...

Whenever i play either Goldeneye or Perfect Dark I can only ever play well with Inverted.

It used to be inverted all the way.. but these days it I choose normal.
But with games from my inverted days i can still only use inverted in them. :huh:

But never mind me...
I am one of those people that HAS to use Legacy controls in Halo (for example the standard Goldeneye ones.. Left stick runs and turns)

I can't move with Left stick as strafe controls without looking into the sky and spinning in circles

I always used to use inverted for the N64 but then I found myself using the normal setting on the new consoles. Now I prefer normal but can do inverted in only a slightly retarded manner.

Crosshairs are mainly associated with fighter planes/jets.

Very rarely will you see an army soilder with a floating crosshair in front of him. :P

The floating crosshair is usually attached to a gun, y'know. :P

Usually only Sniper Rifles and large guns(Vehicle mounted guns and Portable Missle launchers) have actual crosshairs. ;)

Like I said, crosshairs are mainly assosiated with war-planes.

How do you like your iron sights then BrotherEstapol normal or inverted. :cyborg:

I use normal. Always move the wronmg way when using inverted but htat's probably because I'm not used to it.

I long, long time ago I used inverted. Then one day I started playing a new FPS where it was set to Normal by defualt and for some reason I didn't change it. From that faithul day, I became normal for life.

Normal thankyou. :)

Except for Halo, i use inverted all the time. Why i can't use Inverted for Halo is beyond me. :blink:

Normal are way more easier to use, and they feel normal.

Whilst playing Transformers, I thought that there must be an easier way to shoot! Moving the left stick to walk and the right to aim just didn't feel right. I think Konami had a good thing going with MGS2; that's the way all third persoin shooters should be.

Wow, there are more normal people on this forum than I thought!

Really?! Ponders as to why the control scheme is called 'normal' then doesn't it?

Sorry, I just needed an excuse to use that pic. :P

Plus James, you left yourself WIDE open there, they call that "flamebait". ;)

That pic is SO funny! Violence... :D

:lol: Hilarious!
