A podcast about Call of Duty on a casual and professional level. We're two gamers who have been playing Call of Duty for years now and have a passion for it. More specifically, watching professional Call of Duty. The scene is slowly growing with the Call of Duty League being introduced. We are casual players that love the scene and want the CDL to thrive in the future. Our goal for this podcast is to introduce more casual players to the CDL and hopefully resinate the same passion we have for COD in others. Hosted by: Justin Yin and Mike Hargens

    Infinity Ward Actually Listened… MW4 Is Getting Better | The COD Casuals Ep. 290

    Welcome to episode #290 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we cover our final week of the MW4 beta, and it has been one to remember for the right reasons as compared to week 1. Infinity Ward has been listening to the feedback, and many of the initial complaints have been addressed. We go over these major changes/adjustments that have been made, and draw the comparisons between the first and second weeks. With MW4 now on the right track, the question still remains as to what still needs to be worked on, and if this game is still in danger of being a failure with the fans and community. We give our thoughts on some of the big changes that still need to be made, and some other quality of life changes that we feel will make it more sustainable in the long term. Finally, we close on the news regarding the Boston Breach and the new ownership the spot is taking, with M80 coming in to now be the Boston M80 team, and we are beyond excited for this new chapter for Boston in the CDL. The future looks bright for this team, and we give our impressions and hopes for this team going into MW4. What did you think of week 2 of the beta? Did you play week 1 as well, or was the open beta your first time playing? What do you think of the changes that have been made? Did the game improve or worsen? What are some changes that you feel still need to be made, and will it be enough to bring some old fans back to the series? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    MW4 BETA FIRST THOUGHTS | Why Aren’t People Playing the MW4 Beta? | The COD Casuals Ep. 289

    Welcome to episode #289 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we break down weekend 1 of the MW4 beta, as it is finally upon us after much anticipation. We go over the main points that have been a major point of contention for the playerbase, and then talk about what Infinity Ward needs to do in order to recapture some of the fans that have parted ways with the series. We discuss whether it’s simply series fatigue, lack of innovation, or that our age group has moved on from gaming altogether or to other games. This comes off of the lower than normal player count on the beta, and some issues that even after weekend 2, still persist. We give our overall thoughts on what the game’s potential is, and what we think it will end up looking like at launch. With weekend 1 and 2 of the beta in the books, what did you think of the differences between the two beta weekends? Did you like the changes that were made, or is there still an underlying issue with the core game that needs to be fixed? What are your main pros and cons with the game so far? Do you think this COD will bring players back to the franchise with DMZ on the horizon, or is it too late to recapture that audience?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

    Our Call of Duty HOT TAKES Might Get Us Cancelled… | The COD Casuals Ep. 288

    Welcome to episode #288 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we go over our Call of Duty hot takes, and are ready to hear what everyone has to say! We all have our own hot takes about the game that we spend so much time playing, and whether it’s about the playerbase, the direction of the game, or fan-favorite opinions that you don’t agree with, they’re always a fun topic to have a discussion about. We each give our three hot takes, and explain why we feel that way, and open the discussion up for you to give your thoughts on how we back up our claims. Some are more tame, while others for sure are going to be tough ones to take. We encourage you to give us some of your hot takes in the comments section below or on our discord to continue the conversation, as we all have our own experiences in the game that have led us to believe what we believe, even if it may be against the grain of what everyone else believes to be true. What do you think of our hot takes overall? Which ones surprised you the most, and which do you agree or disagree with the most? Are there hot takes that you keep to yourself to avoid mass outrage from? Do you think there are any takes that the general COD community has that you simply disagree with?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    Sony Is Killing Physical Games… Will Gamers Push Back? | The COD Casuals Ep. 287

    Welcome to episode #287 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the continuing discussion around Sony’s move to end physical disc manufacturing and sales starting in 2028, and the continued backlash they have received from this. What we felt was maybe something that would blow over with time has grown into a massive movement where players are banding together to show Sony they will not support them, especially after their lackluster response to the fan outrage. We give our thoughts on the power of the influence we have as consumers, and what potential changes we could see from Sony if people vote with their wallets and do not purchase the PS6. This leads into a bigger discussion about the future of console gaming, and what Microsoft and Sony will have to do to stop people from moving to PC. Finally, we close with our EWC recap, covering the biggest moments, and get into the insane rostermania that has already kicked off only days after the BO7 season has ended. What do you think about Sony’s response to the backlash regarding their decision? Will players have enough influence to have Sony change their mind, or will players simply leave them for another platform? If you are on console, does this shift make you want to move to PC, or are you loyal to your console? Finally, did you watch EWC? What did you think of some of the amateur players that showed out, and will we see some of them in MW4? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    Boston Breach Could Be Sold… Now What? | The COD Casuals Ep. 286

    Welcome to episode #286 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we have a discussion regarding the news that there is interest from organizations to buy the Boston Breach CDL spot for next year. Though this has not officially been confirmed, and most likely not until after seasons end, we see this as a massive move with our connection to the Breach, as well as an important move that will showcase some of the issues with the CDL format regarding teams, budget, and talent. We discuss some of these systemic issues that have created this massive divide in team funds, and therefore talent opportunities for these teams to compete and make the league more competitive. There is a strong likelihood that we could see a revolving door of teams moving into this spot in the future if an org that does not have strong funding comes in, and this would be at the detriment of the players, the org, and of course the fans. We give some of our thoughts and solutions to this issue, and what we think is most important for orgs to be focusing on in order to help their brand and players. Finally, we close with some talk regarding our BO7 matches, and the continued issues that we have seen regarding the matchmaking. What do you think of the potential Boston Breach spot being sold to a new org? Do you think that whoever comes in next will succeed, or will it be a revolving door of bottom teams that struggle? Do you agree with our thoughts on the best path for these teams with smaller budgets to follow to achieve some traction? What do you think is the best strategy for these teams to follow to have success? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    Is PC Finally Worth It for Call of Duty? | The COD Casuals Ep. 285

    Welcome to episode #285 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with a discussion about moving to PC, as we get more information regarding the next generation of consoles, and the price comparison between them and PC. The move is becoming more likely, and we discuss the options going forward, as gaming becomes more and more expensive. We then move into our season 5 ranked experience, and the troubles with teammates voting to quit and chalking up the match. We talk about the problem with the modern COD player, and if the players today give up more than those in the past, and how the matchmaking does not support this in either ranked or pubs. Finally, we close with the debate over the open vs classic matchmaking system that is being floated around for MW4, and being taken from the original matchmaking system used in BO2. We discuss the pros and cons of having separate matchmaking systems, and talk about why we moved away from a system that never seemed to have problems in the first place. Are you on PC or console currently? If you are a console player, are you thinking of moving to PC for the next generation, or will you stay on console? Have you been playing BO7 ranked, or have you moved on from the game and are playing the BO1/BO2 ports? What do you think about the quality of COD players as time has gone on? Have they gotten better or worse? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    Welcome to episode #284 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with a recap of COD champs, as the regular season for Black Ops 7 has officially ended, only now with EWC remaining as the final event to cap off what has been an amazing season in the CDL. We give our thoughts on the grand finals, and what this now does for the landscape of players within the league. Along with this, we cover the highs and lows of the remaining teams, and some of the controversy that has now led to a debate within the league, all in the hopes of achieving a consistent and fair game. Finally, we close with covering the MW4 gameplay that has been long awaited, and all of the pros and cons that have come from creators who got to play and those who have been analyzing. We give our thoughts on what we’ve seen so far, and shift towards a talk around adapting to the new CODs every year, and the importance of doing this to keep getting better as a player. Did you watch COD Champs this year? If so, what did you think of the matches overall? Do you agree with some of the debate around PC issues that has been brought up? Should the league cater to player’s requests more often, or are players simply complaining? What are your impressions from the MW4 gameplay? Do you think we are in for a good year, or are things looking sketchy? Finally, do you agree with our thoughts on the importance of evolving as a player from year to year?

    Black Ops 1 & 2 Ports Will Change Call of Duty Forever | The COD Casuals Ep. 283

    Welcome to episode #283 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we continue the discussion regarding the continued success of the BO1 and BO2 ports, as they continue to hit record numbers of concurrent players and sales, topping GTA VI as a trending game in the PSN store. This comes as no surprise to us, but the question is how long will this last? We give our opinions on the success of these ports, and if they will rival the MW4 playerbase. If this is the case, the path for Call of Duty going forward looks much different than anticipated. Does COD lean into these ports for the future, or do they simply take the feedback from these games and apply it to future titles? We then move onto a quick overview of the season 5 roadmap, with a fan favorite map returning that we feel just came a bit too late in the year. We give our thoughts on this, along with the connection between these fan-favorite map releases and them being used in the CDL, as it could make the competition that much more exciting. We close with our COD Champs predictions, as we come down to the arguably the biggest and most prestigious event for the players to win. What are your thoughts on the continued success of these ports? Should developers be taking notes on what made these games good and apply it to their future games, or do you want more ports/remasters of old CODs? Do you want to see these older fan-favorite maps return earlier, or are you done with playing BO7 at this stage in the year? Finally, what did you think about COD Champs as an event, and the winners and losers? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.
