Re: Help - Controls gone weird

The obvious fix would be options and change the settings on invert controller but it sounds like you have already tried that.

I'm quite sure I know what you did.
Go back to the FNG mission in the campaign. Once you finish shooting the first row of boards, it should have something saying "Reverse controls looking up and down?"
Select no I believe.
If that doesn't work, select yes.

If you go to Options, you can easily switch between Look Inversion being Enabled or Disabled.

I think he said he tried that earlier and it didn't work.
Soz, he may of actually meant controller layout options.
Who cares, he solved it XD
