Weird, I was actually just thinking about axis inversion today while I was playing.
(If that isn't a good way to say "hey I'm a nerd" then I don't know what else is)

I don't invert the axis, and amongst my friends, that actually makes me the outcast.
Everyone else inverts, but I like it when my up looks up and my down looks down.
We used to play SW:Battlefront and I'd always have to go in and change it, since invert is the default, and they'd give me a hard time about it

I play all games with an inverted y-axis. Just like playing a flight-sim.

Inverted FPS controls are the work of the devil.

I invert. Started this with Warhawk. It was just natural to me.

But ever since Warhawk, I just can't go back to the normal way and now have to go into the options on every game to invert.

I only played on inverted for quite some time, but suddenly I started playing with normal controls... I have no idea why or when I suddenly started doing it, but I have been doing it ever since and can't go back.

I find inverted controls more mechanically correct. i.e move head back to look up. It makes total sense to me.

I thought everyone used inverted controls? The only person I know who doesn't only plays sports games.

On consoles I play whatever the game is set to play with. I can't be assed to change settings (unless it's a PC game).

I used to play inverted until I played Lost Planet. Somehow, that game turned me off inverted controls forever.

Yeah? Well if their mechanically correct, by which you imagine the control stick is the back of one's head, then why don't inverted controls apply to horizontal motions?

I, too, use inverted controls.  In fact, I have it set as the default in my xbox360 preferences, which drives my friends insane whenever we're playing a game on the same box.  I only know one or two guys like me, so I'm glad to hear I'm not alone.

Why would anyone EVER use inverted controls?  Are you trying to be special, or different or something?

I could not master FPS games on a joypad until I turned off inverted-Y, which I cracked playing Project: Snowblind of all things.  Strange thing is, I'd still invert a fligtstick for flying and space games.  Go figure.

Because you don't twist the stick in the same way as your neck.

By the time I started playing shooters I had already spent years flying planes. Inverted Y axis seemed natural.

Because you're retarded.

Seems like a throwaway answer because you cannot answer the question without admitting that inverted controls for FPS are wrong.

I've always played non-inverted, it always drives me crazy when some games have the Y-axis inverted by default.
