About The COD Casuals

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

   BO7 Kowakujo Zombies Review | MW4 Copying CSGO & Valorant… | The COD Casuals Ep. 294

   Welcome to episode #294 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with some news regarding a new addition to the Uncharted series, and discuss whether this is a good or bad move for the series. With reviving/remastering games being the norm, we discuss what this game would look like, and if it’s really necessary for the series to continue on instead of being laid to rest. Next, we talk about a recent dev podcast with some of the developers on MW4 talking about the changes coming at launch for the game, as well as some new additions, including specialist streaks and a new game mode that borrows from CS and Valorant. We give our opinions on these additions, and whether or not this new mode is something good for the game, or a worrying concern for the vision of the series. Finally, we close with our continued zombies journey, as we completed Paradox Junction, and have our eyes forward to Kowakujo. What do you think about the Uncharted series coming back? Do you worry when seeing them continue the series, or do you think it’s a safe move? What were your takeaways from the dev talk on MW4? Are there still main areas of the game that you’re concerned about, or did this talk get you more excited about the game? Finally, what do you think of our zombies journey so far? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

   293Modern Warfare Is ENDING… What Comes Next for Call of Duty? | The COD Casuals Ep. 293

   Welcome to episode #293 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 Infinity Ward is moving on from the Modern Warfare series for the time being, with MW4 being their last in the series. We give our thoughts on this move, and what the path forward looks like for Call of Duty. After the past few years of poor fan reception, the question remains as to how they will recapture fan’s attention. We then move onto our zombies discussion, as our journey continues with us talking about the latest map completed and the hardest so far, Astra Malorum. We cover the map, boss, our struggles, and talk about the difficulty of zombies as a whole, and if casual zombies/COD players would be able to complete these easter eggs. Finally, we close with some more CDL rostermania, as we have more insight into the future FaZe, Gentlemates, and M80 rosters. We talk about these potential teams, and the competition it’ll set up for MW4. What do you think about the move away from the MW series by Infinity Ward? Should Treyarch follow the same path with Black Ops, or is that series still solid? What do you want the next version of Call of Duty to look like? With zombies, do you agree that most casual COD players would struggle a lot with the easter eggs, or are they easier than we think they are? Finally, what do you think of the rumored rosters for MW4? Will it be a competitive year, or will it be only a two team league?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.

   Are Old Games Disappearing Forever? + Our BO7 Zombies Grind | The COD Casuals Ep. 292

   Welcome to episode #292 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with the topic around gaming on old consoles, and some of the struggles that players who want to game on these old consoles will be experiencing as support and services continue to ramp down to nothing, particularly with the PS3. This leads into a talk about games that may go extinct due to the playstation store shutting down on the PS3, and no sign of these games being playable on the newer consoles. We then shift to the main topic which has been our zombies grind, as we work our way through completing the easter eggs to close out the game. With Ashes of the Damned now complete, we give our opinions on the map, and our hopes for what’s to come with the rest of the maps BO7 has to offer. We then close out with some massive news in the rostermania world, as dominos are finally starting to fall with these teams making decisions. The biggest one being that FaZe look to be picking up both Scrap and Hydra for the 2026-27 season alongside Simp, and a current vacant spot for their 4th, as negotiations continue. We share our thoughts on this superteam being formed, and what this means for the competition level for next year. What do you think about the extinction of old games? Do you have any games that you want to play but simply can’t because of hardware? What do you think about our takes on Ashes of the Damned, and the easter egg along with it? What are your favorite zombies maps from BO7? Finally, what do you think about the rumored FaZe team? Do you think it’ll be a two team league, or will other teams be able to compete with them and OpTic? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!
