No it applies to Halo 2 too. But it might be good to move.

  • 06.15.2004 7:36 AM PDT

It doesn't really. Plus The Underground is no longer for Halo discussions.

Well, I would like it moved but I think it has to be done by a mod.

Yes, that's exactly why I use it. I used to play a lot of aircraft games before I got into FPSs, it just feels more natural to me.

You know those people who call you -blam!- for useing Default, or those that say inverted is bakwards? Which is best; Default or Inverted? Sound off.

Whatever you use depends on what you used when you first picked up the controller. Default or Inverted, its all the same when you're new, its all hard. You just pick whichever you get given, and stick to it. I personally find that this happens everywhere and not just in Halo.

I'm a drummer and I'm left handed. I was taught 'the right handed way' (right hand over left) and its what I've stuck with. Its the same with Halo, stick to what you start with.

I tried Default and failed miserably, I simply did the opposite to what I want to do because I'm so used to Inverted. This then led me on to play all 1st person (and 3rd person) shooters in an Inverted fashion.

Niether is better than the other, both are equal. It should be 'What do you use? Default or Inverted?' Not 'Which is Best?'

When I see a Default user, I find it quite weird as I only know 2. I'm quite suprised that the majority of gamers on this forum use Default, as the majority of my friends use Inverted. Just shows how a small group doesn't necessarily represent the overall.

I can't use default for some reason. I don't think my first FPS was inverted either.

Yeah same with me, to many flight simulator games as a kid, it just works for me, each to their own

You guys should see my brothers controls, he uses left thumbstick to walk forwards and backwards and look left and right and he uses the right thumbstick to look up and down and strafe left and right, i just cant do that!! He's a PC convert though so maybe that explains it?
That being said he is an excellent player and rarely loses on multiplayer (except to me but i play 24-7 so its not entirely fair)

I used to use Default, but after playing Morrowind for a while I got used to Inverted first-person controls, so I use Inverted now.

Ever since ive had Halo (since the day it came out) I have been using inverted; up until about two weeks ago. At least twice a week me and my friends get together to play some 4 player splitscreen. The problem is they are all default, so when i die and i have to give up my controller, they complain about it being "backwards, and too hard to use". So i finally stopped fighting it and switched over to default. It took about a week and now i can play with my buddies wiithout worrying about being inverted :)

I use default on Halo. I use different controls for different games, I'm good with both.
