Comments about Unreal Tournament as a Alternative to Call of Duty
This alternative is disputed. Unreal Tournament is still a legitimate Call of Duty alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
Daniel Blanton
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.

Unreal Tournament is arena shooter, Call of duty is more realistic shooter.

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.

pros, cons and recent comments

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.
