    Counter-Strike is a slower-paced, competitive shooter, while CoD is a more frantic, casual shooter. It's an apple-to-pineapple comparison.

    Unreal is more of an arena shooter with a focus on map/powerup control. As apposed to Call of Duty which is based around lone wolf "rambo like" combat with an emphasis on player-controlled weapon sets and customization.

    Unreal Tournament is an arena shooter and lacks almost everything that makes Call of Duty stand out including "create-a-class" and even simply aiming down sights.
