No "normal/inverted" option for driving vehicles!

Big E · 11-23-2005

O.K., so there's a poll about whether or not you play in the "normal" or the "inverted" mode. Fine. My question is, why don't the vehicles have this option, as well?

I play in the "inverted" mode, but the vehicles are only drivable in the "normal" mode. A bit of a shame, and a minor inconvenience, really, considering how awesome the vehicles are to drive.

It's a preference thing. I just figured that, if they offered it for the player, they should have offered it for driving the vehicles, too. It doesn't make sense, unless it was just an oversight.

When you're inverted mode, you look up by pulling back on the right joystick (which has nothing to do with turning left or right, that's the left joystick) and look down by pushing forward on it. But, when driving, you only have the option of looking up by pushing forward and looking down by pulling back (i.e. normal mode), which means you can play inverted while on foot but can only play normal mode while driving.

However, if the inverted mode were offered while driving, you would be able to look around the same way you do when you are on foot (i.e pulling back on the joystick to look up and pushing forward to look down). As it is now, it's inconsistent to offer the "normal/inverted" option while on foot and not while driving. See the difference? :?

I dont know about anyone else, but I prefer the normal over inverted. I really could never get used to the inverted mode. The normal mode makes so much more sense to control. But its all a preference thing.

You would figure witch ever way you have your controle setting everyhting in the game will be used with those settings unless you change it.

I play as normal, but thats just what i started with, i know me and anyone ealse could get used to the other way in a couple of dyas, it just muscle memort i guess.

Grab the back of your head and look up but only move your head when you look up don't use you're eyes. know you know why people use invert is a preference really.

The invert controls are definately by preference.. Im an invert user and I could never switch back to normal using the controller. The only shooting games I play without inverted aiming are on the computer such as Unreal Tournament or Halo.. On consoles I use inverted for Socom & Halo 2.
