Oh boy, here we go again. Well, hello Gift Of Games, and if you are reading this, welcome to my request. Welcome to my highest request I've made. I have made a few different requests before, while none of them have made it through and you all may very well do the same to this one, I am going for the attempt. So, without any further pauses, the request for COD: BO II.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II, one of the oldest Call of Duty games, not being able to be obtained on later consoles, and while some maps will cameo in later Black Ops games, not much can replace the olden days. Black Ops II is one of the more known to most people, with the iconic maps like Bus Station, Town, and one popular map setup of Transit, which combines the zombie maps together in an interesting build. Feels much older, but was only released in 2012, it’s still something I would bet many people would keep old consoles just for.

My request for this game was not a spontaneous find of the game, but comes from having nostalgia while talking about it, and wanting to return. Alas, I have no copy of the game nor a console to play it on, which is why I come here, with the request for it on PC. I may not have been that old when the game was out nor should I have played if we truly listened to all the ratings on games, but I used to play it while being dumb, and it’s one that I know I could remember for good times, not bad times like COD Ghost(s? Don’t remember if it was ghost or ghosts). The ideas I see in that game are not quite like some of the others, like BOIII with Shadows of Evil, the free zombies map of 4 rituals to unlock pack a punch, eggs to fill for a sword, and more, or WWII’s “The Final Reich,” with a long and weird setup that first involves crafting the wonder weapon, and ending off with fighting the panzermorder, a giant beast made of zombies. While BOII may not seem like it has that much good if someone likes the ideas of the 2 games I’ve just listed, it’s still a unique experience with its own concepts. The price of this game is causing this to be my highest request, and some people might see the price not dropping after this long to be off, but nevertheless I find this to be a mighty game.

“Well, Christmas is coming up so why don’t you ask for it then?” I’ll explain that. For a while my parents have been renting the house we currently live in, and we’ve been wanting to move to a permanent place, where we wouldn’t pay rent but instead our own house. They have talked and told me in advance, making it not a surprise lowering, but a limit to how much could be spent. I’ve respected that decision and understood the circumstance, and have already made my “list” for Christmas.

“What about relatives, they can give you it or give cash to get it.” Why yes, I do have 4 uncles. And yes, sometimes they will give cash. Here’s the thing, they are 4 uncles all with other people to tend to, and some having their own children can make it hard. On my birthday I did get some cash, which while trying not to it was spent. Christmas would be a different situation, and I very well might not get anything from them. If they were to, that would be going into my item I’ve requested, since it goes over the budget, and I wasn’t gonna try to push that any more than I should. It should really be my decision to lower the limit even more, to respect our needs.

Those 2 questions, while might not be asked, were some I could think of that I might ask during this time of year. Whether you feel those are necessary or not, I’ve put in the input as slight precautions, since you can’t truly know what GoG will say. So, my request, as title and text say, is for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, as of my current time of viewing, is $59.99 on Steam.
