I've always wondered what causes people to have to do one or the other. My brother uses infantry inverted which to me is completely unnatural. I think of the gun thing as point and click. However when flying, we both use inverted, and I think of flying as having a flight stick.

I tried an experiment the other day and used inverted infantry and I found that the times I was able to do it was when I would concentrate and think "like a plane" constantly. However as soon as I got into a firefight, I would lose my focus on that and completely screw up.

The mind works in mysterious ways indeed.

I asked a few of my friends this question.. it seems as though all the more skilled players I play with don't invert while the others do invert it... Weird. I must be very unskilled.

The only thing I have the mouse is inverted for is planes. I voted no because I don't use the mouse to fly with planes. I just got used to the non-inverted way of flying the choppers.

My infantry invert comes from flight simulators back in the mid 80's. And a game called artic fox which was a FPS tank game in the mid 80's. Everything was invert. Every game after that was invert.

Same thing happens to me when I play standard at a buddies.

Invert just feels unnatural for me. I've never played with inverted controls for any game.

I always play inverted on everything, always have and always will. Been doing it like since i started playing shooter games back in the day.

Regular way just bothers me, can't get used to it

inverting is the way to do it. I'd love to see one of you non-inverted people have to save a plane from crasing into a mountain by pulling on the joystick at the last moment (for style, obviously) only to crash nose-first into said mountain 5 seconds earlier

YES

I cannot see how anybody can play with the invert in its default setting (off). I really think having the default setting to be 'invert = off' is one of the stupidest things i've seen in a long time, and have no idea why EA did that. They did it in 2142 as well.

I have seen countless Privates trying to take off in a Blackhawk only to flip it on its back while being totally confused like i was when i first flew (offline thankfully). Its such a weird default setting.
