Just wondering, what do you use when you play games, inverted or normal? For the people who don't know the difference or what it is, here's a quick explanation.
Inverted - When aiming, moving the stick/mouse up makes the aim go down, and vica verse.
Normal - When aiming, moving the stick/mouse up makes the aim go up (it's normal, duh) and vica verse.
Reason i ask? Because one of my real life friends (anyone who remembers bighead0010 on here) uses normal, i use inverted, and he claims everyone who uses inverted is inferior (his actual words at one point) and we should all change and use normal. The funny thing is, about 7 people that we both know use invert, and him and one other uses normal.
Anyway, just answer please, and if possible, can you turn it into a pole? It's easier than gathering answers and editting this post.
+1 normal (bighead0010) he doesn't play blood, but still adding him. Just add 1 to whatever the results are at the mo.

I voted for normal!!
Even though most fps' come with inverted active which could lead to asume that your meant/wanted to use it like that, i still find it easyer due to it being what i grew up with!!
As new games come with it pre-inverted a lot of new gamers are used to the inverted, which explains why its become so popular!!
I asume the inverted controls were introduced with aircraft, then it moved to fps with games that had both units and ships!!
But to anwser the question, i think normal version is better as its the system you work with everyday!!! (up actually being up) And thus you should be more fluid with it!!!
Also, when you play old games that dont allow you to use the inverted system, and you use it for all your games, then your performance will be waay lower than it should be based on your skill!!!
Thats my view anyway!!! =D

@Igor - Wow... that's one messed up gaming session, FORTUNATELY, i CAN use normal (takes about 5 minutes for me to get used to it) but DAYUM, inverted left/right is just awkward.
@Curse Caster - Yeah i grew up with normal aswell, but then i saw one of my brothers playing as it, changed it to inverted to test it out, forgot to change back and been using it for years now. And most games where it doesn't have inverted i can survive playing anyway. Besides, about old games not having inverted, doesn't goldeneye (on N64) even have inverted? That's the OLDEST game i can remember that'd like... have the choice.

heh - like you say it only takes a few minutes to get used to things
as for when it started becoming an option...
well - ive been gaming since bbc/acorn atari / zx80 times (late 70's early 80's)
yes goldeneye had options for inverted controls - but as a
floating set of 'default' options - preset patterns - not user defined really
memory fails me too much further back than the n64 era
but i dont remember any of the old cartridge or tape based games
i played having options for inverted x/y axis - i could be wrong

Normal rocks!
Inverted is for people with strange depth perception.

DAMMIT, SOH MANY PEOPLE CHOSE NORMAL >_<
Ah well, at least now i got a comparison of how many people use normal or inverted (or in igor's case, both XD) because i've always wondered who uses what.
And Cthulhu (DAMMIT GET A SANE, SPELLABLE NAME!) SCREW YOU *runs far far away* INVERTED ROCKS!!!

Inverted sucks big time! Expecially at a few games witch the option of making the mouse work normal is missing, so you gotta change you're style of playing or dump the game.

But your used to to playing inverted for about an hour, so it takes a few mins to get re-adjusted to normal again....
Isnt it fact enough that its called normal that its the version your meant to use? ... tho i dont think all games call it normal (their the stupid games) |
I hate when that happens, lol, i actually do that a fair bit haha. Whenever im playing the xbox in my couzins it gets annoying. Il go into an online match of cod or halo and realise its inverted a few mins in after ive just been destroyed, then i suck for a few mins cuz im half used to both styles, lol

That happens to me all the time at friends houses, takes me about 5 minutes to adjust to normal (even though i much rather inverted) i get smacked, then change it, only difference, is about 5 minutes after changing it, i'm at kickass level again, and for the time i WAS playing normal, i was also, kickass XD
Haha you got a warning.

That's not a pun, that's a euphimism. And no one had thought of it until you said it

Inverted...push forward, lean forward, look down.
Pull back, lean back, look up.
Far more natural.
