This config is backwards and it pisses me off that so many have this as the default. Surely I can't be the only one?

It made sense in some games where the weapon selection was an actual wheel and scrolling up made the weapon below the selected choice, technically the previous in queue I guess, go into the slot. I guess it's just semantically overcomplicated for no good reason like THAC0 in DND.

It makes perfect sense, if you're right handed, scrolling the wheel "down" is clockwise, which implies forward progression through the roster of weapons.

When you roll the scrollwheel upwards, does it go to the text that you've read previously, or the text that awaits next?

There you have it.

You are backward, it's how we used to do it back in the days.

This must be like that way you can develop gaydar by noticing who uses inverted mouselook in anything but flight games.

That's the default because scroll wheel up = back and scroll wheel down = forward. You're just retarded.

You ever notice a game where it seems inconsistent though? I can't pull an example right now but it's usually something modern and ported from console, I know.

I was serious about that, have you not noticed more modern games with inconsistent wheel weapon selection? I usually banish them fast as I scurv them. It's either a port or some trash UE4/Unity shitmare.

>wheel weapon selection

>the curse of actual on-screen wheel weapon selection in multiplats

Fucking hell. was it actually that lost in translation in QA and design all those years?

Mouse wheel weapon selection is for faggots, use the individual weapon hotkeys like an adult.

Actually I use both depending on if the weapon I want is within one scroll or not.
