Podcasts about Treyarch

On this episode, host David Taylor sits down with Dan Bunting, the former Studio Head of Treyarch and one of the key creative leaders behind the Call of Duty franchise. With over 18 years at Treyarch, Dan helped shape some of the most iconic moments in FPS history — from the introduction of Zombies mode in World at War to the rise of the Black Ops series.We explore how Call of Duty became the dominant FPS franchise, and how Treyarch carved out its own identity through bold design decisions, narrative risk-taking, and constant innovation. Dan shares behind-the-scenes stories from the early 2000s to the modern era, reflecting on the key audience insights, design shifts, and tech evolutions that influenced Treyarch's approach.We also dive into his transition from studio leadership to entrepreneurship and investing, his outlook on the next decade of Call of Duty, and what excites him most about the future of the gaming industry.We'd also like to thank Neon – a merchant of record with customizable webshops optimized for conversion – for making this episode possible!

Welcome to episode #226 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!It's officially that time of year again! We have the next COD teaser trailer that just released for Black Ops 7, which is now already available for preorder, and has everyone talking. This year has left people with more questions than normal, and also a lot more basic demands from this year's installment. We share our thoughts on the trailer, and what COD really needs to focus on this year in order for this to be a turning point in the franchise, and the FPS genre altogether. We also cover the rise of Splitgate 2, and how other FPS titles are entering the sphere and could potentially take some fans away from Black Ops 7, all depending on if they listen to the fans. Will Black Ops 7 live up the hype, or are in for another year of “what if's”? What do you believe is the biggest part of the game that Treyarch and Activision need to succeed on in order to keep fans satisfied? Do you think any of the other FPS games out now will hurt the COD community, or will they fade away? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Follow us:Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Contact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

Welcome to episode #225 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with covering the launch of season 4 for Black Ops 6, which has been nothing short of a complete disaster for Treyarch and Activision. The season launch has opened the gates up to hackers at a level we haven't seen since the early launch of ranked play, and the playerbase isn't happy. With no clear solution or timeline for fixes in sight, players are left wondering if it's still worth it to be playing the game. We share our thoughts on this issue, and our personal experience with it so far. Finally, we end with a discussion of advertisement; a big talking point with season 4. With bundles and packs being shown in every screen of the game, the question is has Activision gone too far, and are they losing sight of what's important for the game. We give our opinions on this discussion.Have you been experiencing the issues we shared in season 4? Do you think Call of Duty is working on a fix to get these issues resolved, or will it remain the same until we get the next title? Finally, has COD gone too far with advertisements for bundles? Do you feel they are losing sight of what is important? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #218 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we have some major leaks and rumors towards COD 2025, which is being labeled as Black Ops 7. We have some confirmations regarding the omni movement returning, as well as the setting and timeline being after Black Ops 2, and being set in Japan. We share our excitement and trepidation towards this move, as we are curious if players will feel burnt out on a very similar experience to Black Ops 6 again, or we trust that Treyarch will deliver and bring us another great title. We then end on some updates regarding Verdansk and its success in bringing people back to COD, and cover another very interesting weekend of CDL matches, as teams and storylines continue to develop. What are your initial thoughts on these Black Ops 7 rumors? Do you think this game will play exactly like BO6, or will it be completely different? Should Treyarch focus their efforts on a better ranked play system this year, or leave it and handle the cheating situation? Finally, have you been playing Warzone? If so, what do you think of the addition of Verdansk, and the hope that they continue improving and developing Warzone? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Follow us:Twitter: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@TheCODCasuals⁠⁠Contact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

A franquia de shooters mais bem sucedida da história retorna à sua subssérie de espionagem desta vez com uma ambientação de Guerra do Golfo. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 é novamente uma superprodução com tudo que existe de mais caro na indústria e experiências para pelo menos três públicos diferentes em um mesmo pacote, desenvolvido em conjunto por uma dúzia de estúdios, liderados pela Treyarch e Raven Software. A trama traz novos personagens aliados a outros já conhecidos que, dessa vez, estão agindo como fugitivos da CIA. Enquanto a campanha amplia algumas ideias interessantes do jogo anteriores e subverte formatos típicos de CoD, o multiplayer tem seu próprio twist com novidades na movimentação.  Naquele “evento” anual que é a celebração ou aversão à Call of Duty, será que Black Ops 6 vale a pena?

Welcome to episode #198 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we cover our initial thoughts on ranked play in Black Ops 6, as it has been released earlier than it ever has in previous titles, and we have lots to say. Overall, the experience for us has been fantastic. We share our opinions on the state of ranked from our perspective, but also discuss the biggest problem plaguing ranked play at the moment: hackers. This has been an ongoing issue over the years, and as of now, it is not improving. Many believe this will be the make or break for ranked, and we give our thoughts on the matter, and discuss what Treyarch and Activision need to do to have ranked be the biggest success it possibly can be. What are your first impressions of ranked? Do you enjoy the maps/modes, or do you think more guns and different maps should be added? What current rank are you? Have you experienced any hackers yet, and if so how bad has it been? 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 Black Ops 6 is here! We never thought we'd have a Call of Duty game on this podcast again, but Treyarch and the other teams behind this game outdid themselves. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is the full package. The campaign is solid, the multiplayer is super addicting and the zombies mode is a blast. Best of all? This is all available on Xbox Game Pass.We also dig into Alan Wake 2's new DLC called The Lakehouse. This one follows a Federal Bureau of Control agent through The Lakehouse. Jason played this game and shares his thoughts of this creepy return to the Alan Wake world. Brett plays Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Bioware returns with a different art style, a more linear world and several gameplay changes that provide a differnet, but fun direction for the game. Is this the best Dragon Age ever? Maybe not. Is this a great game? It definitely is. Despite the sometimes poor script, the gameplay is great, the world is gorgeous and the game plays better than any game in recent years.We also get our hands on Deadlock, the 3rd person MOBA from Valve. This game is incredibly well designed bringing all the best of MOBA's with a true hero shooter twist. We can't wait to get our hands on the full release.Lastly, Austin dove back into Tears of the Kingdom. In this, he highlights the well-designed starting area. Tutorials are varied in our games and sometimes hold your hand too much or are too annoying you want to ignore them. This tutorial does it just right having you discover as you play. You can follow their Kickstarter here when it goes live or wishlist it on Steam.Show Notes:1:14 - Housekeeping2:36 - Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Early Review35:22 - Alan Wake 2 The Lakehouse DLC48:05 - Dragon Age: The Veilguard Early Review1:21:39 - Deadlock: A Fun Twist on the MOBA from Valve1:37:24 - Tears of The Kingdom 1 Year Later: A Masterclass in Starting Zones1:57:46 - Upcoming Video Game Releases Become a part of the conversation!

Welcome to episode #193 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! The wait is finally over, as Black Ops 6 has officially launched! We have been playing nonstop since its release, and are beyond excited to share our experience with the game so far. We cover our first impressions on all aspects of the game. From the maps, to the guns and prestige, we give our opinion on what we think of the game overall from day one. Lots of discussion has been about the quality of the maps, and whether they live up to the hype that has been associated with Treyarch maps. We go over the maps, and what we think is the best move going forward for both casual and competitive for map rotation. Finally, we close with some tweaks we would like to see going forward, and share our excitement to start up the campaign and zombies mode. What do you think of Black Ops 6 so far? Are you a fan of the new maps and weapons? Do you agree with the thought that these maps aren't good, or do you like all of them? What is your go-to weapon currently, and what level are you right now? 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 #190 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we share our woes and struggles with closing out season 6 and MWIII altogether. We are in the final stretch of hitting the max level, and giving ourselves some much needed time to relax before starting up Black Ops 6. We are preparing for our end of year review with MWIII, and will have much to say regarding gameplay, maps, and overall fatigue. We share some thoughts as we come to the end of the game, and also some ideas that hopefully Treyarch uses to help reward those who make it to the end, as we share our annoyances with the lack of rewards for the long grind. We close with some CDL talk, as some big rumors have been confirmed, leaving big questions for the bottom teams. We share our opinions on these confirmed moves, and our predictions for other teams. Do you agree that there aren't enough awards and incentives to grind to the end of COD in recent years? What do you think should be given as a reward for hitting max level? What do you think about the confirmed and rumored CDL rosters? Are there any that are sleeper teams? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #182 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we have some major leaks from Black Ops 6, and these honestly came out of nowhere. We have leaks every year from Call of Duty, however this one was extensive, as we got multiple maps confirmed, a first hand look at omni-movement, as well as a variety of weapons confirmed.

We share our thoughts on this discussion, as well as what we hope to see from Black Ops 6 before we get the beta which is at the end of this month. What did you think of the Black Ops 6 leaks? Did anything stand out to you? Is this a COD that old fans should make a return for, or is it going to be more of the same? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!
