FPS Invert Mouse or not?

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 ^_^

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.

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.

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

i used to fly airplanes, and i played flight sims before FPshooters

just feels natural

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.

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

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

It's all good ^_^

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.

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.

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.......

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............

Personally I leave the Y axis normal. I like to invert the X axis. If you think about it, in order to walk to the right you have to push off to the left, and vice versa. Just makes more sense to me.

Yep, I used to be into that crap.. Though I also liked to watch Knight Rider and Air Wolf..............

I watched Saved by the Bell when I got home from Elementary school too.

I know this has nothign to do with this thread, but I'm so freaking tired right now. Summer intersession along with work is killing me. How many days in a row do I have to get up at 5:30, aarg. I don't mind getting up early (that much) I mind being a dumbass and stayin up past 12 every school night.

I can't help being wide awake, and my room is in the most social part of the house, so everybody...hangs out, because it's summer and they can be lazy unlike me

Can't wait until August 7th baby

It's all good ^_^

Always inverted!!! When I'm playing FPS's I imagine that my mouse hand is resting on the head of my character....so to look down I'd push forward. Makes sense to me!

Inverted. For me this comes down to how my brain interprets the physics - in real life if I want to look up at the sky, I move my head backwards. I don't think of it as aiming the weapon, it's where I want to look. None of my mates play with the axis inverted though, and they all think I'm weird.
