Had a random discussion about this with a friend today so I’m curious, how do you have your look control set? Not just for shooters, for any game in general i guess. I’ve used inverted ever since goldeneye for N64. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > Regular. Never saw the point of down = up. I never really made the choice to play that way. It’s weird, if i try to play regular it’s like trying to write with my left hand. I would assume it’s the same way for a person playing regular to try inverted. ---

related note: the ‘zoom’ function in ProE is backwards. wheel scroll towards me should be zoom out. I wish there was a way to invert it ---

I guess i don’t view it has pushing down to look up, more like pulling back to look up. Maybe i was a pilot in my last life. Switching between games is a pain in the ass too. They really should make these games with the capability of full button customization like on most PC games. ---

Inverted FTW. > [@Joe](#): > > Regular. Never saw the point of down = up. It comes from flight sims and early arcade games. Up = BACK on the stick. Down = push the stick forward. It’s not a choice of up or down, it’s back or forward since your controller or mouse moving on a horizontal plane. ---
