    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.

    Warface is a proper modern shooter that comes complete with all the features one would expect of the genre like ADS (aiming down sights) and loadout customization.

    I'd say Combat Arms is more of a blend of Counter-Strike and CoD. However, it feels quite antiquated, and I hear CA Classic has quite severe pay-to-win mechanics.
