FPS Invert Mouse or not?

[namek0]

I invert the mouse in every fps, period. A lot of guys I know don't invert it and constantly make fun of me "I don't want to fly a plane while I shoot my gun"

I say I push down on the butt of a gun to make it go up, and so on.

Does everybody out there invert or not? (I invert 100%)

It's all good ^_^

I always invert it myself. True, most people think its odd. . .right up until I blow them away. Then they usually calm down a bit.

Well I DO fly airplanes, however I want my weapon to aim where I tell it to. If I want to aim slightly up, I move my mouse up. There is no reason for me to make my mind switch 180 degrees from everything else that is done with the mouse. To move my mouse up on the screen in Microsoft Windows, I move my mouse up. So why invert the mouse? Just one more calculation your brain must do and one more way to screw up IMHO. When I hold a real gun, I move the barrel up and down, because the butt is planted on y shoulder, and I tend to keep it there. So even that is backwards. When somebody tells you to aim higher, 99.9995 percent of the world will aim the barrel higher, not the butt lower.

it's just a preference, i'd say about 50% of my friends play with the inverted option selected in a FPS. I myself do not, because my brain does not have the capacity to corelate "up means down & down means up"; its preference is down means down & up means up =).

 

[Starion15]

Maybe part of my "problem" is that I played flying games (Terminal Velocity anyone?) before I played an FPS (well, except for Doom original, that only operated on the x axis). When I jumped to FPS, it was just natural to move inverted.

 

[Skipper007]

I like inverted.

I lived off Descent, Terminal Velocity, and Tie Fighter when I was younger though...

 

[namek0]

Yeah, I was playing games like Wing Commander long before the fps came around (besides Doom, Hexen, or Wolf3d anyway)

I guess I aim a gun by the barrel too, it's strange.

A few games will either have no invert option, or will have invert only option, which drives a lot of people crazy

It's all good ^_^

Yeah, I've been in aviation my whole life. I just got my A&P, I play FS2002 Pro ALL THE TIME and love to fly. So it is natural for me to fly an airplane down is up, but not when I am aiming a gun.

I leave my mouse normal, but when I play Halo on the X-Box I like to have the aim inverted so pushing up looks down.

Given that non-inverters are dextrous, inverters would be sinister.



Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

 

[goloap]

I use inverted for only one reason: it is how the first FPS game I played was setted as default(I do not remember which one it was though).

In ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies

 

[lakedude]

goloap

Same here. I got used to being inverted cause it was the default on the first games I played as well. Hmmm thinking back that would have been Doom or Duke.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

 

[namek0]

You 2 guys rock on, that's exactly what I'm talking about

It's all good ^_^

 

[Skipper007]

Lakedude: Doom didn't have mouselook, so it would have been duke.

 

[lakedude]

Duke it is then (still one of my favs)!

Just finished the full version of Shadow Warrior for the first time. I like the old games with attitude/good sound effects. The new games are much better visually but the old ones rock for smart a$$ comments and fun.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

 

[namek0]

I remember the cool posters in the background of the Duke games, or the hot naked pixelated strippers

It's all good ^_^

 

[lakedude]

Or the OJ chase sceen, or the "your terminated", or "make my day", or the dead doom guy, or the "I'm gonna rip of you head and ......." and then he actually does! Way cool.

Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.

 

[thaloc]

The thing is, you don't actually move mouse up/down, but forward/backward 😛. If you want to look up in a real world, you move your head -backward-, if you want to look at your feet , you move your head -forward-. Does it make any sense 😀 ?

 

[skligmund]

My first FPS was Wolfenstein3d on an old CompuAdd 286. It was defaulted to normal I think. I remember when Duke Nukem was new, I was like "Awesome, that is so radical!" Yep, awesome and radical were cool words back then.......

Every time I say the word excellent, I think of that teenager yelling "Excellent!" when the MTV satellite gets blown up in the movie Spies Like Us

It's all good ^_^

 

[skligmund]

I also think of similar things, including Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and happy crap like that. Remember, this was back when Micheal Jackson was cool............

"this was back when Micheal Jackson was cool............"

That HAS been a while.

You like that analogy? LMAO I thought it was good 😛
