Unreal is a PC FPS. They are designed to be played with a keyboard and mouse, period. By playing it on Xbox, the game loses what makes it popular in the first place. The fast-action multiplayer game that you get when you have the control of a keyboard and mouse. Halo is a prime example of how things slow down when using a controller. You can't look as fast, and can't aim as precisely.

I'm sorry, but Microsoft needs to release a keyboard and mouse if they expect me to get excited about their FPS-loaded Xbox Live lineup. Does Xbox have any online FPS that aren't on PC, or coming (Halo)? Halo is coming, Ghost Recon is out, Raven Shield, Splinter Cell (online?) are being released later, Counter Strike is out, etc.

And if you look into UT 2003, you'll notice the game is very similar. Look at the modes, and guns and everything. So I can easily say it's UT 2003 with less features.
Yes, but Unreal Championship is designed for use with the Xbox controller. So if you don't even try it, which I know you haven't, then that is not a fair comparison.

Now, Halo has been announced for both the Mac and PC, but online play has not be announced nor confirmed. So that is at this point an exclusive FPS for Xbox Live. Also, during E3 Splinter Cell was announced to be Xbox eclusive, and yes, it will be online.
