UC is a big pile of wank. It may be the same game as UT2003, but UT2003 does *always* run with an atrocious framerate.

The controls suffer from not having just that *tiny* little bit of autoaim you have in Halo.

You see UC and see just how outstandingly good Halo is in every possible way :)

Yeah Halo is a lot better than UC without a doubt, I wouldn't say UC is a big pile of wank its just not as good as it should of been.

UC is deeply flawed, that is clear.

Hmm what xbox live game should I get next Mech Assault of Ghost Recon?

Tricky one. Mech Assault is a typical MS game. Very well done and a good polished product, it just lacks something.

Multiplayer is a tedium of holding your crosshair over the enemy mech and spamming your fire buttons unfortunately.

Ghost Recon is a better bet (even though I haven't played it) I can see how it would work much better than any of the other Xbox Live games atm. Plus Ghost Recon on PC was class :)

Yeah I'm leaning towards Ghost Recon. Shall give it a try in the shop tomorrow.

Well, yes. Set your server speed to 70%, and it becomes a lot better game. I cained through the single player in about an hour, played some multiplayer, got bored. Like Quake3, it's a lovely techdemo... but not much of a game. Give me Natural Selection's gameplay over UT2k's graphics any day.
