    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.

    Insurgency is a slow-paced hardcore shooter and therefore its gameplay isn't comparable to Call of Duty's more frantic casual experience, but it does have quite a satisfying level of flexibility regarding loadout customization.
