It's quite obvious to me, inverted is WAY better than default. Think about it... If you were in a plane and the pilot died, The joystick thing is the same way! WOO HOO!!!

Oh, I left out the southpaw and the other one, cause they suck all together. ;)

Anyway... I guess this will kinda be a thing like who's right handed or left handed.. lol

There's no difference. It's just what you're used to. This has come up a million billion times, too.

but ya see, the thing is, you are NOT in a plane.

When I fly the banshee, I'm inverted, but for regular play, deffinately default. I mean, come on, there's a reason that up is up and down is down is the default setting. it just makes sense.

I use default movement with southpaw. I use southpaw so I can aim while shooting a little quicker. I'm right handed too, it's weird.

Umm ... a plane is alot different then a characters head .... all my PC Flight sims i use a joystick and fly with the normal Plane settings ... its not actually inverted ... it comes from the old planes you pulled out on the steering wheel and it rased the flaps and visa versa ... they just mad it sorta the same with a joystick instead ..... i use default in FPS ..

christ NeonLife2, i couldn't sit here and watch you get the train run on you like that. i too play with the inverted settings and boxer. it's just more natural for me. but don't worry about those other guys, you and i both know it takes real genious to play with inverted settings. we were just made quicker, stronger, faster, smarter, errr...better at halo (haha).
by the way, don't bother flaming. if you haven't figured it out, i've been joking. damn default freaks with their lack of a sense of humor. why don't you all just go back home to defaultany.

I'll take inverted controls to the GRAVE with me. It'll be in my epitaph:

Here lies a man who played inverted
All the defaulties are sick and perverted

Default aiming
Inverted flight

I used to aim inverted, but one day I woke up and just started using default. I seem to be much better at default than I do inverted.

i use invert. i got my girlfriend to start playing halo with me and she started out on default. she had never played an FPS before. she was complaining about how hard it was to aim so i changed it to invert and she did a lot better. i dont think you have control over which one is more comfortable to you. its almost like a weird genetic trait or something.

Default, you upside-down back-to-front weirdo!

I will not stand idly by and watch my almighty inverted brethren get trashed by you mutant defaulters run amuck! Inverted is the only way to go! I can't believe everyone doesn't play like I do, redonkulous!
One night I kept getting my settings on a new box stuck on Default and by the end of the night I finally got back to "normal," i.e. inverted, but by then LAN was over....to continue the story of how messed up default is, I couldn't drive home because my hand eye coordination was all askew!
To put all you "up is up and down is down" people in your place....when you look up which muscles pull your head back? What about when you look down? You move your head back to look up and forward to look down, inverted is al naturale!
MUAHAHAHAHA! THIS INVERTED ARISTOCRACY SHALL NOT BE THWARTED BY YOU DEFAULTERS!

Neighter is better or worse, its all personal preference. I prefer default non-inverted.
