Growing up, "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" on Xbox was more than just a pastime; it was a significant part of my childhood. The thrill of teaming up with friends, strategizing together, and climbing up the leaderboard were moments I cherished. However, as life progressed, financial constraints meant that my gaming choices became limited. A PC handheld is now my only gaming device, and with little finances, I made another purchase of the game, hopeful to relive those fond memories.

Massive console server updates heralded a new era for modern consoles, yet to my dismay, I discovered that PC players are left isolated. The revelation that PC servers remain unsupported for cross-platform play and lack essential features like controller aim assist was heartbreaking. It feels as though we are punished simply because of our hardware choice.

Call of Duty should be about uniting players irrespective of their platform. This discrepancy not only divides the community but also deprives many, who like me, have transitioned to PC gaming due to financial reasons, from enjoying an enriched multi-platform experience.

By unifying Call of Duty: Black Ops II PC servers with the modern PlayStation and Xbox infrastructure, the gaming community stands to elevate its camaraderie, enjoy fair and balanced gameplay with controller support, and ultimately, strengthen the player base across platforms.

This petition isn't just a call for better technical support; it’s an appeal to Activision and the development teams to reinvigorate the community spirit that once thrived in Black Ops II. It is about recognizing the diverse economic landscapes of gaming enthusiasts and ensuring inclusivity in an ever-evolving digital arena.

Join us in requesting Activision to bridge the gap between platforms. Let’s make cross-play a reality and deliver a fair and accessible gaming experience for all. Please sign this petition and help reunite our fragmented community. Together, we can make a difference!
