Default Do you play console FPS games normally or with an inverted y-axis?

Hey Guys,

Not sure if this thread topic has came up before on the TRS boards, but I wanted to see how you guys game...

So, when you play FPS games (console), do you play with an inverted y-axis, or do you play normally? *

*Make sure to vote in the poll**

I, myself, choose to play inverted. I am not really sure why I started, but I have gotten so used to it now, I can't even be productive with the regular axis. It is quite annoying though because when a friend and I take turns on a single player game, they usually always play with the regular axis. That means diving into the menu system and changing the setting each time...

Normally because inverted controls confuse me when I try to use them

Default Inverted FTW!!

The first thing I do when playing a new FPS is go in and invert the controls... I just end up aiming at the ceiling the entire time if i don't... I just can't play at all if the Y-axis is set on normal.

Agreed! On Xbox 360, I just set "inverted" as my default for my profile. That way all the games I play will automatically be set.

Until recently I had never thought about it but ever since I got Call of Duty 4 I go with the inverted. I dunno, for some reason it just seems better/easier.

I play inverted, and I have no idea why. Were there games in the past that automatically had it set to inverted? I don't remember one day just deciding that I'll play inverted for the hell of it, but I'm just used to it.

Up is up, down is down, left is left, right is right, all the time for me.

I used to always play inverted (I think Goldeneye used inverted as default), but when the first Halo came out, it was really hard for me to play because I would play with my buddies in a group of about 8, taking turns every round, so I didn't have the luxury of being able to switch back and forth between inverted and normal. That's when I decided to start playing with just the normal configuration, I don't know if it's better or not, that's just what I use.
