Call of Duty is done with Black Ops, and Modern Warfare 4 is the "epic conclusion" of the Task Force 141 story. We think it's the smartest call Activision has made in years. It only matters if the next series changes the game as much as jetpacks did, and a new name and new villains won't do that. We also make a prediction: Call of Duty will copy WARDOGS. It happened with PUBG and Warzone, then with Tarkov and DMZ, and now WARDOGS has sold over 2 million copies and peaked at 428,000 concurrent players on Steam. Raz guarantees Infinity Ward is already being told to build it. Also covered: WARDOGS one week into early access, the drill-spam meta, the mortar complaints, why we still think no monetization is a mistake, and the Bulkhead CEO crunch controversy (we don't see the problem). Then GTA 6 Online reportedly landing in 2027, why the PC version probably comes with it, and what GTA 6 does to MW4 and WARDOGS in November. We finish with WoW Forever, Aion 2, and an investigation into whether any elves have round ears. Raz still wins either way. 0:00 - Intro: Big Jacob of Nibiru 2:05 - Patreon hangout & Death by AI 6:01 - WARDOGS one week in: 2M sold, 428K peak 9:24 - Balance complaints & the drill meta 13:40 - There Will Be Blood is overrated 15:01 - Bulkhead devs on Twitter & the loadout fix 17:16 - Mike Tyson's impregnable defense 20:09 - You either love a game or you're good at it 23:29 - No monetization is still a mistake 30:38 - Still in the honeymoon phase 33:07 - WARDOGS CEO crunch controversy 38:26 - Treyarch is done with Black Ops 42:20 - CoD needs a jetpack-level shake-up 46:33 - Future setting vs. grounded CoD 49:24 - Prediction: CoD will copy WARDOGS 57:08 - DMZ2 is going to fail 1:01:41 - CoD fans: don't get excited yet 1:03:53 - Wolverine hand-holding & NICKMERCS on Tarkov 1:06:30 - Why extraction shooters must be hardcore 1:10:22 - Mads Mikkelsen & MW4 1:11:07 - Does Raz come back to CoD? 1:15:53 - GTA 6 Online in 2027 1:21:52 - GTA 6 PC will launch with Online 1:24:15 - What GTA 6 does to MW4 & WARDOGS 1:30:47 - WoW Forever enters beta 1:32:45 - The elf investigation 1:34:49 - Aion 2 1:37:49 - Outro _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Clint and Bryan strap back into the Arwing for Star Fox, Velan Studios' remake of the 1997 N64 classic, released for the Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2026. Velan built the game on their own in-house Viper engine, and it's a studio with real pedigree hiding in its origin story: founders Karthik and Guha Bala previously ran Vicarious Visions (GBA ports, Spider-Man, Tony Hawk, Skylanders) before it was folded into Blizzard, where it went on to work on Call of Duty and Diablo 4. Here, they've taken the original Star Wars-inflected premise, animal mercenaries running trench runs through the Lylat System and rebuilt it with a new art style while keeping the level design, story, and rail-shooter structure fully intact.We talk through what's changed and what hasn't: the new cutscenes, the recut voice work that gives Fox and Falco a little more edge without losing too many of the iconic one-liners, and how well those three-minute, branching missions fit the Switch's ability to succeed with games that allow for a short, staccato pace. The Arwing still flies exactly like you remember, snappy and arcade-tight, and the mission variety, planet-side runs, all-range dogfights, subs, tanks, memorable boss fights, still hold up. We also dig into where the age shows and why the game keeps pulling us back anyway. It's not an experience that reinvents Star Fox 64 so much as it lovingly restates it, and we get into whether that's exactly the right call.Three Word Reviews:Clint - Switch 2 SellerBryan - Nostalgia, Locked On

Welcome to episode #291 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with some stories regarding old games that we now revisit, and the time capsule that they have ended up becoming. With these old games there's typically issues with the discs themselves, and we share some stories and thoughts on this, as it relates to the ongoing physical media discussion with Xbox and Sony. Xbox has developed a decent workaround in response to the backlash from Sony, and the question still remains; will Sony budge on their stance? We then shift to talks regarding Call of Duty, and the issue of fatigue with the series and potential solutions. With many content creators writing off MW4 before launch, it begs the question if COD is in need of a major change, and what does that exactly look like. Do they take a year off? Do they completely change the style of the game? We give our thoughts on what their next moves should be, and close out on covering our BO7 zombies journey. We are slowly working through the storyline, and give our thoughts on the experience so far. What do you think of Xbox's response regarding discs? Do you think it will take players away from Sony, or is it not enough? With regards to Call of Duty, what do you think their next move will be after MW4? Will they make a big change, or are we going to continue to see the same game year after year? Finally, have you neglected zombies like us in BO7, or have you kept up with it all year? If so, what do you think about it? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

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!

This week, Lorne Balfe joins me on The Film Scorer. Lorne has about two-hundred credits to his name across film, TV, and video games, including projects like Top Gun: Maverick, a couple Mission: Impossible films, The Crown, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, and a whole load more. Not a bad resume... Now, although he normally releases about ten scores a year, 2026 has been a much quieter year for him, conducting at the global tour of Top Gun: Maverick in Concert and working on the new adaptation of The Cat in the Hat, coming out in November. We talk about each a little bit, but it also gives us an opportunity to really jump away from focusing on any single project. Instead, Lorne and I spent the hour and a half we had chatting about a pretty wide range of topics, getting really deep into the film scoring industry and the business side around it. We also have a bittersweet moment where we talk about composer and conductor Nick Glennie-Smith, who Lorne knew and worked with for many years before he passed away in mid-August. One note - Lorne and I were chatting away before hitting record, so the interview starts a little in media res. But don't worry, nothing juicy got cut off.

Shooters are having one of their best summers in years, and every major franchise still can't agree on what to do about it.The crew runs through the battle pass shakeup hitting Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch, breaks down why Battlefield is quietly beating Call of Duty on Steam, and picks apart Apex Legends' run as the most consistent live service in the genre. They also dig into Gears of War: E-Day's beta results against Helldivers 2, unpack why War Bonds aren't actually battle passes, and argue about why Western studios keep playing it safe while Eastern developers experiment their way to the top.Topics Covered:• The battle pass shakeup across Call of Duty, Battlefield and Overwatch• Why Battlefield is outperforming Call of Duty on PC despite the franchise's rocky years• Ranked play, Battlefield Labs and the Elite Top 250 leaderboard• What's next for Battlefield now a new mainline entry isn't landing next year• Call of Duty's tech unification and the tradeoffs it created down the line• Apex Legends' revenue consistency, live ops machine and collab strategy• Apex's growth potential in China and Japan, and the case for reviving Apex Legends Mobile• Why battle royale modes outperform arena shooters on retention• Gears of War: E-Day's beta numbers and the inevitable Helldivers 2 comparisons• The PvP versus PvE tradeoffs facing E-Day's live service• War Bonds versus battle passes and how Helldivers 2 redefined seasons• Why Arc Raiders can't copy the Helldivers playbook• The West's monetization risk aversion versus the East's willingness to experimentCHAPTERS:01:13 Battle Pass Shakeups02:33 Battlefield Engagement Surge04:13 MAU Charts Breakdown05:28 Why Battlefield Retains06:47 Ranked Mode Returns08:44 Battlefield Next Moves11:04 COD Tech Unification Lessons14:19 Extraction Mode Debate15:35 Apex Revenue and Consistency17:00 Apex Live Ops Machine29:18 BR Movement Thesis30:20 Why Arenas Feel Worse31:17 Social Sandbox vs Zero Sum33:15 TDM Translation Problem34:06 Gears E-Day Catch Up34:54 Market Size and Modes37:07 Helldivers Comparison Debate40:51 Live Service Monetization Risks44:40 Battle Pass Changes Roundup47:51 War Bonds vs Battle Passes52:58 Arc Raiders and Extraction Limits54:33 Western Monetization Fear59:13 Next Episode Tease

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago.

Danny Peña sat down with Jack Hoppis (Technical Designer at Infinity Ward) and Beatriz González (Production Director at Digital Legends) to discuss bringing Call of Duty to the Nintendo Switch 2!We break down crossplay and cross-progression, unique Switch 2 control options like gyro and mouse controls, and the beta feedback leading into launch.

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?

We're back with another episode of the Nonsense Podcast, and apparently Canada has officially made the list.We kick things off with a Kelly Fact about William Wallace, but FNBob spends most of the fact waiting for the inevitable twist because there's no way a Scottish warrior can be discussed without something ridiculous happening. Eventually, he realizes William Wallace was apparently just a straight-up warrior and moves on.

In this episode, Tracy Harwood, Ricky Grove and Damien Valentine discuss Paolo Pedercini's 2009 machinima film Welcome to the Desert of the Real. Created using the US military recruitment game America's Army, the film overturns the game's heroic presentation of warfare to explore post-traumatic stress disorder and the psychological consequences of combat.We examine Pedercini's use of the US military's own PTSD checklist, fragmented desert imagery, shifting viewpoints and an unsettling soundscape of wind, footsteps and white noise. Together, these elements transform the game world from a tactical arena into the isolated psychological space of a traumatised soldier.The discussion situates the film within the traditions of counter-gaming, tactical media and culture jamming, comparing Pedercini's approach with Joseph DeLappe's dead-in-iraq. We also consider whether the soldier's anonymity strengthens the film, why its lack of sentimentality is so effective, and how the work might be remade using a contemporary game or Unreal Engine.Content note: This episode discusses warfare, killing and post-traumatic stress disorder.Time stamps -01:49 Ricky introduces Welcome to the Desert of the Real 03:25 Paolo Pedercini, Molleindustria and America's Army 04:07 How the film subverts a military recruitment game 05:03 PTSD, the desert and the film's central narrative 07:25 America's Army and the controversy around military recruitment games 08:13 The soldier's anonymity and the limitations of character animation 09:54 The sniper sequence and its carefully controlled realism 12:05 Why the original film credits matter 13:29 Pedercini's politically engaged games and artistic practice 16:17 Counter-gaming, tactical media and culture jamming 18:57 The PTSD checklist as the film's driving structure 20:26 The journey towards the empty desert 21:00 From first-person shooter to psychological space 23:54 Traumatic memory and fragmented visual storytelling 24:56 Wind, white noise, tinnitus and psychological pressure 27:22 How the PTSD questions change the meaning of the images 29:54 Rejecting Hollywood sentimentality and easy resolution 30:29 Turning the military's representational machinery against itself 32:13 Does the film need to show the soldier's face? 32:58 Comparison with Joseph DeLappe's dead-in-iraq 34:38 Could the film be remade with contemporary technology? 35:44 Reimagining the work in Unreal Engine 36:47 Call of Duty versus Unreal Engine 37:31 Would a remake lose the original's political irony? 38:14 Audience question and closing remarksCredits -Co-hosts: Ricky Grove, Tracy Harwood, Damien ValentineProducer: Tracy HarwoodEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice & Suno AI

Sony's mishandling of its games-as-a-service initiative is well-worn territory here on Sacred Symbols, but that doesn't mean the fallout doesn't persist. This time around, Guerrilla's new multiplayer title Horizon: Hunters Gathering is the focal point. Based on recent reporting, it appears Sony is having the dev team rework the game to remove live service and other persistent elements, and its fate will be decided by December, with cancellation still very much on the table. Bungie and Marathon, Haven and Fairgames, Firewalk and Concord, Naughty Dog and The Last of Us Online, the Deviation-turned-Dark Outlaw project, Bluepoint and God of War Online, a cancelled multiplayer Spider-Man game at Insomniac, Twisted Metal never getting far off the ground at Lucid... Truly, it's enough already. Plus: Until Dawn star Hayden Panettiere sadly passes away at 37 years old, Grand Theft Auto VI suffers a catastrophic leak, Hiroko Totoki talks to the Wall Street Journal about Sony's move away from tech and towards entertainment, Square Enix swears Kingdom Hearts IV will launch in 2027, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Naughty Dog's high-caliber approach ultimately unsustainable? Have we lost sight of the reality of how bad the experience of using physical media actually is? How can we both run Sacred Symbols effectively while ignoring the endless, persistent, and unrealistic negativity? Will Colin ultimately push Dustin over the line by insisting he's Japanese?

How hungry are people for Elder Scrolls VI? Apparently, very! All it took was eight asterisks within the game's subtitle to send a flurry of fans into everything from lore wikis to decoding employee identification numbers in Starfield's Developer Direct. With such rampant curiosity, this led the Dukes down the rabbithole. What do these eight characters represent? Indeed, if the theories are true, they tell us more than you'd expect. Beyond that, we settle into a chat about the coming generation of consoles. Will Xbox weaponize Elder Scrolls VI as a lightning rod which can draw people into the ecosystem? Is it worth risking millions upon millions of dollars lost for this? Essentially, is this game going to find itself in a camp with Call Of Duty and Forza or Clockwork and Gears? There are compelling arguments for both sides, so join the very delirious Dukes as they settle into a lengthy conversation about Elder Scrolls!
