    DMZ IS BACK IN MODERN WARFARE 4! | The COD Casuals Ep. 278

    Welcome to episode #278 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the new DMZ reveal trailer for MW4. With DMZ being a returning mode after a couple years away, we discuss the importance of this mode, and talk about if it’s something that Call of Duty should actually focus on, or leave to another studio to develop as its own game. We then shift to BO7, and the new classic mode that has been put out with season 4. This has breathed some new life into the game, and we give our thoughts on it, and why COD doesn’t make their base game more like this temporary mode. We then shift to the Sony and Xbox game reveals, and the growing competition between both consoles. With remasters making an appearance for both studios, a potential Black Ops 1 and 2 port/remaster is rumored. We give our opinion on the success and risk of doing this, and close with talk regarding the everchanging CDL, as we are quickly approaching major 4. What did you think of the DMZ trailer? Are you going to be playing it, or is it something you will be avoiding? Have you gotten a chance to play the new classic mode in BO7? Who do you think is coming out on top for the console wars after both reveals, and what do you think of potential port/remasters of old COD titles?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

We give our thoughts on what we know now, as well as give our first impressions on some leaked screenshots of the updated UI and custom class system.

    Is Gaming Entering Another Console War Era? | The COD Casuals Ep. 275

    Welcome to episode #275 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with some news that was delivered during the Major 3 broadcast regarding ranked play, which is that we will be getting a breakdown of how we gain/lose SR in ranked. Many people have wondered how they exactly calculate this per match, and this is a nice step in the right direction. Along with this, we shift towards some news regarding Sony and Xbox, as a potential console war may be upon us. As Sony is pulling back on letting their exclusives go to PC, Xbox lowered the price of game pass and seems to be making steps to regain their spot at the top. We talk about the pros and cons of a console war, and what it will mean for the future of gaming.  This then turns to a conversation about the future of stories in gaming, as we discuss a concerning article regarding stories in movies that we can already see happening in gaming, which is a drop in complexity and quality. Finally, we end with our review of Major 3, as well as the pros of the format used during the weekend. Have you been playing ranked still? Do you think the SR breakdown will be accurate, or will it still have some flaws? What are your thoughts on a potential console war reigniting? Do you remember console wars back during the Xbox 360/PS3 era? Regarding story games, do you avoid any and all gameplay/spoilers, or does it not matter to you? Finally, did you end up watching Major 3? If so, what did you think of the change in format? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    GAMING JUST DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME ANYMORE | The COD Casuals Ep. 274

    Welcome to episode #274 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off talking about an inevitable fact of friends dropping off of gaming, and what may be contributing to this. As most of our friends have stopped playing, we turn to the games we had growing up, and how the quality of those titles, such as Call of Duty, has changed so much over the years that it has turned people away from gaming altogether. We share our thoughts on story games, and their ability to tell a story you actually cared about and wanted to keep playing. This shifts our talk to the seasons in BO7, and how the story continues to be told, despite not having that initial interest from a lack of quality. Along with this, when it comes to quality and effort in COD, most turn to the maps being a main point of focus. We give our thoughts on how map design and quality has been trending over the years, as well as sharing the fact that despite good maps in the past, there are very few that live on over the years. Finally, we close with some CDL updates, and are looking forward to an exciting major 3 tournament. Do you share the experience of having a shrinking list of friends still playing regularly? What’s the longest you’ve gone without gaming? Do you agree with our takes on storylines in gaming? Does COD need a full reset when it comes to their campaigns? Finally, do you remember a lot of maps from old COD titles, or is your memory as bad as ours?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    CALL OF DUTY IS MOVING ON FROM OLD CONSOLES… | The COD Casuals Ep. 273

    Welcome to episode #273 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the news that Modern Warfare 4 will not be released on last-gen consoles, making it the first COD in over a decade to move exclusively to the current generation of consoles. We share our thoughts on the move, those who still main on the old consoles, and what the future looks like for console gaming vs. PC gaming, as both are becoming more and more expensive. We then shift to the current state of BO7, and discuss how COD has changed over the years to where we currently are, and what this says for Modern Warfare 4. The focus has shifted over the years to variety and quantity for all players, and moved away from good fundamentals in their titles. We give our opinions on the fundamentals IW needs to focus on to gain traction for their title. Finally, we give an overview on the CDL weekend, as serious concerns are still there for some of the bottom teams, and the battle for the top has gotten even closer as we are closing in on major 3. What do you think about the move away from old gen support regarding COD? When did you make the switch to the next gen, or do you still play your old console? What are your thoughts on our talk regarding settings in COD? Do you think there are too many, or do you enjoy the customization? Finally, what are your main points for IW to focus on for 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.

    CALL OF DUTY MOVIE 2028 | The COD Casuals Ep. 271

    Welcome to episode #271 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the confirmation that we will be seeing a COD movie in the near future, and what this means for the series. Set to release in 2028, we give some thoughts and theories as to why they have decided to make COD into a movie, and what their hopes are with the outcome from it to support their game. We break down the potential ideas they could have with COD 2028, as well as if it will be successful or not. We then shift to some of the decline that’s been seen in FPS games across the board, as hackers have now ruined Arc Raiders and ranked play for BO7. This will lead players onto new games, constantly chasing the next best game. We give our thoughts on this movement as a whole, and how we feel the game industry has led to games feeling “disposable” as years have gone on. We finally end with some CDL news updates and changes, as we head into the first minor tournament of Major 3, getting a first look at the top teams in the league. What do you think of the COD movie announcement? Are you excited for this, or more worried? What do you think Activision hopes to achieve with this movie, and do you think they’ll be successful? Do you agree with our assessment of the gaming industry and there being too many games to choose from? Finally, what do you think of the competition in the CDL right now after Major 3? Do lots of teams need to make changes, or wait until after Major 3?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

    GAMING AND CALL OF DUTY ARE IN TROUBLE... | The COD Casuals Ep. 270

    Welcome to episode #270 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the increase in pricing for gaming, which now seems to be nearly across the board. With the recent news that Sony raised the price of the PS5 across the board, with the PS5 being $900, and Microsoft’s new CEO announcing a change to the Game Pass pricing, we cover the thoughts as a gamer in 2026, and how our hobby’s barrier to entry is getting more and more difficult to reach. Along with this, we also got a rumor circling that Call of Duty will be taken off of Xbox Game Pass later this year, assuming that COD’s next title will not be available through it. We share our thoughts on this move, and if it’s good or bad for the future of the game and the series, as GTA VI looms over all games releasing towards the end of this year. Finally, we end with some more CDL roster moves, as we draw close to the first week of the Major 3 qualifiers. What do you think of the price increase on consoles and gaming subscriptions? Do you have a cutoff price for consoles or games? Do you think consoles will continue to get more expensive, or will it eventually hit a cap? What do you think of the future of COD on Game Pass? Is this going to hurt or save the series down the line? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week. https://discord.gg/XjBWUj4KtV Follow us: Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠ Contact us: Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com
