What control scheme do you use for console FPSes?

[hiccupleftovers]

With all the recent talk of the many FPSes that have come out (i.e. halo 2, Killzone, Metroid Prime 2 (don't know if this one counts for this thread though), Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Half-Life 2, and all the ones in the past, etc.) I felt that it was appropriate to as what style of control do you use, inverted (with pushing the right analog stick up making you look down and pushing down to make you look up) or regular ( pushing up makes you look up and pushing down makes you look down).

I myself use Inverted because it feels better. maybe that's why airplane controls work that way>

[opportunity777]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.

[Othergods]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.
Yeah, exactly what he said.

[Trakan]

I can't stand inverted. Regular for me.

[Strider Turbulence]

Inverted

[evilpenguin9000]

I hate inverted. It seems counter-intuitive to more.

[GuilewasNK]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.
Yeah, exactly what he said.

Ditto.

[bignick]

inverted. regular just doesnt feel right.

[tehfomar]

definitely inverted...

Whenever I start an FPS I always forget to change the controls to inverted and I always think that the control scheme doesn't feel right but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Then after a couple missions I finally look at the options menu.

[bmulligan]

All games should have a left/right inverted option as well as a up/down toggle.

[dnt_h8me2]

I always always always choose regular.
None of that down is up crap for me.

[CaseyRyback]

It depends on the game, I use inverted in SOCOM 2, but regular for most games.

[levi333]

Inverted, whenever possible.

[killswitch64]

Always inverted (as long as it is an option).

[KingDox]

This is a huge debate, I think the gamefaqs version of this thread hit 500. I like regular unless I'm playing a flight game. But even a game like Penzer Dragoon I like regular.

[zionoverfire]

Regular I can't use inverted on anything it always messes me up.

[Skylander7]

Inverted, but I grew up on flight sims.

There's a huge difference in my reaction time in regular... it's just too wierd to me. Wierd enough for me to not be able to enjoy a game enough to play it if it doesn't have the option of inverted controls.

[road3283]

Inverted.

[hiccupleftovers]

Wow, it's a pretty tight race. regular is only up by 3. And to think, I was wondering where all the Inverted love was.

[hiccupleftovers]

been a few days and I find this quite interesting so bump it goes.

Here's another question I'd like to pose, Which control scheme's player's do you think do better in games and is it because of their control scheme or just ability/talent?

[Nematode]

Regular...because that is how Shing Shao of the Third Echelon taught me.

[Astinus Majere]

I always used to go with regular, until I played a game that only had inverted. After that I was so used to inverted, i had to play it that way.

[Ledhed]

Inverted. My vote just put it at 50/50.

[ex0]

Inverted

[coolbrys]

inverted. my vote just put it over, 51% to 48% :)

[Fungi]

"Inverted" with a control pad. "Regular" with a mouse. Yeah, I gots me one of dem keyboard/mouse adaptors.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Always inverted, since day one.

[Kaijufan]

Regular for both console and PC FPS.

[WildWop]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.
Yeah, exactly what he said.

Ditto.

Same here. Blame it on Tie Fighter.

[The Gifuto]

Like many have already said, inverted. I ditched Second Sight for the sole reason that you couldn't invert.

[Tom]

50/50 again

[SS4Brolly]

Ugh, I cant remember what I like for FPS's. I think I do inverted on Halo, but regular on everything else.

[hiccupleftovers]

Well so the stats are 29 inverted 49%, 30 regular 50%. This is a really close one.

[hiccupleftovers]

my bad, it just went 50/50 again. Really heated/close poll. I never thought it would be this way. I always thought of it as more one side than the ohter.

[swetooth9]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.
Yeah, exactly what he said.

Ditto.

me 2

[JohnnyDrama]

Regular

[dopa345]

I always play inverted since I play lots of flight/space sims so I'm used to it.

[JebusMcLucifer]

Regular for FPS, inverted for Mech games and flight sims.
Yeah, exactly what he said.

Ditto.

me 2
me 3

[Rig]

Regular for Halo 1 and 2, inverted for everything else. That's kind of strange...

[ex0]

I just realized that although I like inverted for console FPS's i hate it for PC FPS's.
