I was all psyched for Battlefield 3 until I played the beta and was reminded at how bad I am, and therefore how frustrating I find, competitive online shooters. Unfortunately, it seems like if you want competitive online gaming action, the choices are limited to shooters, racers, sports games and fighting games, none of which are appealing, at least to me.

Wouldn't it be great to get some non-shooter, racer, sports, fighting competitive online games out there? I'd really like to see another game like Phantom Dust since it was unique and incredibly fun. Another great game would be something that imitated World of Warcraft's pvp battlegrounds. A game like either of these ideas would break the mold and stand out and, hopefully, be a lot of fun.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Try assassin's Creed: brother hood. online you run around with a team assassinating players on the other team looking through crowds to find the right person and game modes are really fun. leveling system and earing expierence points and abilities as u level up and get beter. awsome online expierence. :D

Portal 2 - is a great game that's not a shooter; but there's no competitive mode... but there's a really good co-op mode. Left 4 Dead - (while technically a shooter) isn't your traditional shooting game. It's not guns vs guns....instead, playing as the zombies is a completely different experience, and requires a different kind of strategy from modern shooters.

I forgot about that one. I have played it and it was decent but didn't keep my attention long. Hopefully it starts a trend though.

Sports games can be fun sometimes, but they can get overly competitive.

You can try Red Dead Redemption. Top Spin 4 may also be a good choice.

There aren't many options at all if you disclude those four main genres. If your looking for unique competitve online MP arcade games would be your best bet. Games like Worms, Panzer General, Risk and Age of Booty are good examples.

RTS games? (though they're not that great on Xbox I think)

Halo wars, Red Alert 3 and such?

Another really good example, I've played the first one quite a bit. And there are a bunch of traditional games like poker, uno and other board games if your into that kind of thing.

All good. Last fighting game I played online was MK Deception. Fun, but people always dropped out when they were losing and that was annoying.
