Normal or Inverted Controls?

[yourbeliefs]

When you play 1st and/or 3rd person shooters, what sort of control scheme do you use?

Generally normal, inverted for flight games though.

Not all games define normal/inverted the same. As far as I am concerned Forward on the stick should be down when aiming etc. When it isn't for a game I switch the control options to Inverted.

I'm always inverted.

Have to be inverted, nothing else makes sense!!

Inverted to me. Regular just seems so awkward.

Inverted... Cut my teeth on space simulators and flight sims in the early 90's, and now my brain only works that way....

How does it not make sense? You don't look up to look down. Inverted is the one that doesn't make sense.

I think Bob nailed it. All the Flight Sims have trained my brain that way. I think it was really Doom and Wolf3d that did it though. IIRC ID had inverted as the default controls and I played those like crazy in my brain's formative years. Playing "normal" to me is like me trying to write with my left hand..........

I just tried to explain how we inverted people work, and now I have a headache. It's something you can't explain. For some people, it could be from playing many flight simulators or flying games. I never was big into them, so I don't know why I'm used to it. I don't use inverted with a mouse on PC games.

You tilt your head forward to look down and back to look up. Same with the controls. The non-inverted scheme is the one that doesn't make sense.
