When you make the mouse move down, the view moves up. and vice versa so up=down and down=up.

I bet you play normal since you're asking that. I think most FPS have Inverted mouse turned off.

Oh BTW I can't turn this into a poll. Maybe I dont have enough privileges.

I used to only play inverted mouse but than i got a demo where i could not change it to inverted and learned how to play normal. Now i cant play inverted anymore. Trust me as somebody who has been on both sides of the wall its exactly the same when you are playing you do not think about it at all. I would not say one is better than the other its just what you get used to.

No, inverted mouse is just evil. My friend's dad plays like that. I tried it, but I just kept bobbing my head up and down in the game and running into lava or slime.

Its just whatever your used to. Force yoursefl to play the opposite way for about 20 min and youll be fine, unless some sort of idiot.

Doesn't BF1942 allow you to play normal as a soldier and inverted when you are in a plane?

lmfao ... dude, regular Doom didn't let you "look" at all. :p

Inverted here - and yes, only the truly 1337 play inverted. :D

My source is X-Wing / TIE Fighter at the beginning, followed by a securing of inversion in Descent. Still love that game - strafing just isn't the same in two dimensions anymore. :confused:
