On games like Call of Duty, do you play inverted or regular?

[Penner]

I play inverted. I'm like the only person I know who does. I don't know why I do.

[alvarado52]

inverted

[Vietnamese Crippler]

I play inverted, as well.

[G]

you're all weird

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Judging from the poll, you're the weird one :roll:

[G]

YOU JUST WAIT BUDDY

[CSL]

Inverted. 'Normal' is weird. Don't remember the last time I saw somebody push the butt of a gun up in order to aim up.

[G]

that's because we push the barrel up to aim up. you're not looking at the butt now are you?

[RoXer]

Which would pull your wrist back

[G]

god stfu you faggot

[CSL]

I could understand that for left handed people

[G]

i am left handed

[CSL]

I knew leaving 'watch you be an awkward fucker and be left handed' out of my last post would be the downfall that ultimately led to my demise in this thread

[LoDownM]

Inverted. Should be the default setting. Out of everyone I've played Halo and such with, only 1 person has used normal.

[LoDownM]

What wrong with left handed people :(

:D

[alvarado52]

so ironically 'normal' is only used by lefties which is the minority in the population

[G]

i used one of these at school

I'm left-handed :o

[alvarado52]

did you buy it at the leftorium?

[Ogen]

I use whatever the default is I think, can't actually picture it at the moment which makes me useless to this. HI THOUGH!

[G]

did you buy it at the leftorium?

some lefty store at the underground mall in atlanta

[CSL]

What wrong with left handed people :(

Nothing when they're good old right fearing lefty inverts like yourself. It's the "normals" and NHL recordbreakers who are trying to make things difficult for you all.

[CSL]

Feel like DAMN iNATOR just posted that.

[Xero]

I play motherfucking mouse and keyboard, regular.

[Nark Order]

I play motherfucking mouse and keyboard, regular.

[Kalyx triaD]

...Inverted.

[The Destroyer]

Inverted.

[Xero]

Don't get why you'd play inverted. Yes, it's more "realistic" when it comes to the gun itself, but I go by the cursor, not "lulz i tink im relly shootin tings".

[alvarado52]

i dont think anyone plays inverted to be cool or anything...i think its just a matter of what gives you a better feel for precision. For whatever reason, as far back as i can remember (with Goldeneye being the exception), ive always been more mobile/accurate with inversion.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's a dumbass statement, Xero. Seriously, we're all gamers here - you're gonna bitch about control preference?

[Xero]

I'm not bitching about it, it just doesn't make sense. It's a cursor and you're controlling it, well, inverted. It doesn't really matter and doesn't make a difference in game (except for the fact that some people play one way and the other because it's their preference). It's just a logic factor to me, and logically, I'm controlling a cursor, whether on a console or the PC.

I think a better question is WHY you chose inverted/regular in the first place.

[alvarado52]

pilots fly planes inverted...are they weird?

[Xero]

Are they controlling a cursor?

[alvarado52]

...they could be.

[alvarado52]

crane operators control inverted....are they weird?

[Xero]

Are they controlling a cursor?

[alvarado52]

well guess you got me there Xero! But if you or I ever had to control a plane or crane, i guess we know who'd have an easier time.

[Xero]

Go invert your axis on your mouse. By your logic, you'll have no trouble controlling it.

[RoXer]

I also invert my mouse btw.

[alvarado52]

I also invert my mouse btw.

[Xero]

You're weird.

[G]

oh now you're just being silly

[RoXer]

Innverted mouse only on games I should add.

And only FPS games.

[alvarado52]

lol, i dont invert my mouse...but i dont control the cursor with only my thumb. Look dude, like i said, nobody does it because one day they decide its the cool thing to do, its just a matter of what gives you better mobility in games.

[Xero]

I completely agree, like I said, it's just a preference and doesn't matter in-game. It's just, by logic, it doesn't make sense.

It doesn't MATTER, but it doesn't make sense.

[RoXer]

It makes more sense than playing normal.

To point a gun upward, you would tilt your head/shoulder/wrist back.

This post is better than that ridiculous 'we're trying to be realistic' bullshit. Let's have things like this before you try to shit on your fellow gamers, eh?

[Kalyx triaD]

It doesn't MATTER, but it doesn't make sense.

When you pull someone's hair down from the back of their head, will they look down? How's that for logic?

But seriously, I just feel more comfortable with inverted, don't over think it.

[Xero]

You said the realistic stuff was bullshit (I was referencing what was said earlier in the thread, for the record), and then go and give me a realistic example.

Okay buddy.

Logic dictates I'm playing a game with a cursor. That's all.

[RoXer]

It makes more sense than playing normal.

[RoXer]

Fine.

It still makes sense to move the mouse down to look up in an FPS game because in order to point a gun upward you would have to tilt you head/shoulder/wrist back.

[jcmoorehead]

For a controller I play inverted as it feels more natural but for the mouse I play normal. It's more to do with what I find to be comfortable.

[Kalyx triaD]

I was making a point, superstar, but just jump right over it. Did you even read the last part of that? The part about PREFERENCE?

[Xero]

Yes. I'm not disputing that it's about preference. When did I say it wasn't?

My PREFERENCE is to be logical. :y:

[Kalyx triaD]

Trying to make a logical argument for something subjective will send you to Hell.

[RoXer]

It is logical to pull back to look up.

[RoXer]

You're weird.

No, you're weird!

No, you are!

[Kane Knight]

LOL at the idea of people playing inverted to be cool or different.

I play inverted because it feels more "natural." Keep in mind we're talking "natural" when manipulating a character entirely with my thumbs and a couple fingers.

[RoXer]

A natural puppet master

[G]

With Project Natal we don't have to worry about preference!

[Kalyx triaD]

Ew

[Kane Knight]

A natural puppet master

Word.

i OWN DAT SHEET

[Kane Knight]

Bisexuality for all!

[KIRA]

Inverted

[alvarado52]

with project natal i can play with my dick....and play video games at the same time....WITH MY DICK!

[Kane Knight]

But will you play with it regular, or inverted?

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Inverted penis?

Uh, ow?
