Is the world ready for Call of Duty Battle Royale Humble Monthlies?
I don't understand, is using the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Additional Content" key the only one I need to use for everything and can just gift the other one or do I need to use both?

Oh, boy. Look at the mess all this is causing.

Actually is the other way around. These are resellers banding together to leave negative feedback to users they had already traded with.
Comment has been collapsed.
Both sides made mistakes here. The guy should obviously refund or provide the new link, since the copy he sold was revoked. I think that's pretty straight forward. What is also pretty clear is that this teaming up thing is against the rules and not ok. He deserves a single negative feedback for what he did. Not 3.

to be honest after seeing your comment , i question myself again why Stream trades doesnt use a feature to send offers on the profile with the Steam Api & and added paypal gift cards amazon etc aswell as options (or blank to write something inside) and than you gotta accept and than you accept first before you trade to make sure you trade with the right person & only than you can vote on the profile ,but that's just my humble thought of this abadoned site

well been checking it recently since my friend already traded over 50 copies of the battle edition but once he knew the keys were revoked he took it on himself to contact every single one he traded with before to either replace/refund their trade unlike some a-holes out there who traded the new copies as well and refused to refund any of the guys who had their games revoked . Don't ask me how he got 50 keys lmao he is running a local key reselling shop since the options of buying directly from the internet are next to non existant in my country xD

Greedy people will be greedy or at least ignorant
They trade with a reseller, therefore they should know resellers do not sell these immediately and will wait when prices increase before they do. It is only proper etiquette to reimburse the revoked games since HB actually gave the replacement, therefore they wouldn't even be losing anything on their side.
But since they are greedy, they will not, instead reason out that the reseller should have redeemed the game so they can double down and get twice their money's worth and feel like it's justified to call said reseller the greedy one instead. I find it kind of hilarious to be honest.
I also traded my Battle Edition copy, had no problems giving the new link to the same guy when he gave me sufficient proof that it was revoked since I know what is right from wrong.

it's a double edged sword, because in the case of the Battle edition keys, a trader has no way of knowing whether or not the buyer sold the key they gave them.. So an unsavory trader could lie about the copy they had being revoked when in reality they already dealt it, now get a free second copy of the game to hang onto ..
In this type of situation I'd think the buyer should probably ultimately come to the table and offer something extra for the new key seeing as it's not a different more valuable item..
Before anyone says anything I traded my copy of black ops and gave the person who bought my copy the new gift link without any additional requirements, but if someone wants to hold out, I can see their point of view and may or may not hold that against them.. This isn't the same situation as say, buying something with a bad credit card and that item later getting revoked, this is an item which was marketed as one thing, and traded as that item, and then being dramatically increased in value, but having someone still expected to honor an original deal..
Either way, this was massively sloppy from both Activision and Humble. so many other ways this could have been done and handled to avoid this messy situation.. Glad I only had two copies, one I traded and the other I held onto and has now become the upgraded key..

The game is still quite dead, and it being a multiplayer-only game means every buyer will enjoy the roughly one-week period before the new blood realises the assload amount of paid lootboxes and microtransactions and it dies again. It will also stay dead as the new CoD has been announced.
Anyone with a reality check is buying this for the unannounced games, maybe they will be okay.

Thanks for the reminder. I've triple checked to make sure I'm definitely still paused. Guaranteed the rest of the reveals will all be wishlisted and I'll be sad for a while, but I won't support this practice of requiring me to sign up to a service I have no interest in, just to gift the game to someone else.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was sure I canceled it, but apparently not. I emailed support. Not sure what to expect. First time pausing a month didn't work for me, and I honestly don't know if it was my bad or a glitch on Humble's part.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you keep the email saying the bundle has been cancelled/paused. If you did screenshot it and send a copy of that to HB. You're not the first and I'm pretty sure you wont be the last with this issue. Best of luck.

Last time that happened to me they refunded me and took back the library (as long as you haven't revealed or redeemed anything you're fine)
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't revealed/redeemed anything. I didn't keep the email (unfortunately emptied my trash). I'm willing to concede I might not have have followed through on everything to cancel because there was a survey thing too when I went to cancel, and perhaps I ended up pushing the wrong button at the end. I do remember a confirmation page that I had paused, but maybe that was wishful thinking? I expect that it will get sorted, and honestly not too big of a deal if I end up getting the June games. Nice to hear all the successes in dealing with support. So often people only post the negative.
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble took care of it quicker than I anticipated so I'm paused for June! I will be making sure to double check the next time I want to pause.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh i am really sorry to hear that. And i can understand why you dont like multiplayer games in general. Maybe you could try playing a few zombie games as they dont require any other players or you could donate the game to someone, i am sure this kind of act will make someone's day feel so much better and special and i think its better than letting it expire.
Anyway i am sorry again for your accident and i hope you have a great evening.

but with all the drama going on over at steamtrades, I don't know if I'd want to bother with a trade attempt.
What drama? Those people complaining about lack of oversight, calling steamtrades a scamfest? If it's about that - it's true that steamtrades is kind of wild, and people can theoretically do what they want there. With the exception of the voting system, of course. But I think we can all agree that this does not replace proper moderation. Still, most people just want to do their trades. And they are doing exactly that. The drama can safely be ignored. Trade with people with experience (rep), and you will most likely be absolutely fine. I have been scammed in the past. Like 5 years ago, when there still was moderation. Have not been scammed since. I just pick my trade partners carefully, and that's about all you need to do.
If this is about the revoked battle edition keys and there is some drama on ST I don't know about - well, then I guess I wrote all the above for nothing. xD Even then I would consider it. Your reputation is good. And if you say you have a standard edition version, people will trade with you.
In fact I paused but am now thinking about doing the same thing.It's probably worth it in the end.
Comment has been collapsed.
It has high value there because the one given on the HB monthly has no code, just a direct link to connect to your Bnet account, even if you send it as a giftlink very much like the previous Ubisoft games. So technically you can't even sell it on said grey market sites.

Just commenting to confirm that you get an extra copy of the full Standard Edition game (113gigs) if you had traded the Battle Edition and the traded with redeemed the copy. Kind of insane. What a shitshow.
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe he was referring to the part where @bongwaterbuttchug said you still get the full game even after the battle edition has been redeemed by an other account (you traded with)
This seems highly unlikely as the Battle Edition has been revoked according to other sources and information making the rounds
Comment has been collapsed.
I've heard that, but then you only get the zombies add on and not the full game as a key, As I understand it
Comment has been collapsed.
That's how I understand it from humble support...
https://twitter.com/humblesupport/status/1133784679591665664
But would be nice if I'm wrong...that means OP also has to change his post that states
"If you redeemed before today, you will have a new key that adds Zombies. If you haven't redeemed, you'll have one for the entire Black Ops 4 Standard Edition."
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I went for it, I bought the monthly. I am hopping that as I have strange game tastes I will find something nice in the incoming bundle.
I am a gambler and this "no other early reveal" is bothering me, I'm like, maybe there will be something interesting there. Maybe...
But I couldn't care less of CoD 4 (no single-player is a no go for me), I just like to gamble.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can someone give me a quick explanation of how this works in the Humble bundle: If you want to give COD Black ops 4 to someone else, what is the process you'd go through? I cant quite tell if you have to link YOUR account and then you get a key you can give to someone else, or if you have to link THEIR account. If you have to link their account does that mean that now their account is permanently linked to your Humble account? Would appreciate if anyone who has experience with this could fill me in on how this currently works. Thanks!
Edit: After linking an account, is the game revealed as a key, or does it become a direct redemption to the linked account?
Edit 2: And it is possible to un-link that other account afterward so that you can link your own account for later.
Comment has been collapsed.
you need to link your account. Then it give you option to redeem it to your linked account or gift it to a friend with a link like normal.
no idea if you can unlink account since I have no reason to try it.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can link your own battlenet account, then two options will appear: claim to your own bnet account and gift to a friend. Just use the 2nd option.
It will give them a giftlink, which they can redeem to their own email, and will be a link they can log their own bnet to redeem the game. No codes/keys exist.
You can unlink your account anytime in the settings page of HB.
Also happy cake day!

Thanks, this is exactly what i was hoping to figure out, much appreciated for the quick replies!
Cakeday shouldnt be for another couple of weeks, so strange that its showing early, unless its like.. cake-month or something.. now that sounds like a treat! Couldnt find any place where a setting for that to see if my info was incorrect, but I appreciate the well wishes all the same!

It's been 6 days since i purchased the bundle and still can't installing the freaking game on my languaje. The only thing they are doing to me is throwing me from one support team to other. From Humble Bundle, to Blizzard, then Activision and then Blizzard again... And now Blizzard sends me to Humble Bundle. That's beeing a freaking nightmare.

One question about Region Restriction. Is there any when gifting from South America?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope. Global except restricted in certain countries which is the same for everyone.
Taken from OP: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Battle Edition is currently restricted in China, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Iran, Myanmar (Burma), Sudan, Belarus, Eritrea & Venezuela. Customers in these regions will receive a $5 Store Coupon as a replacement.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, finally got the email as well ( Here's 3$ off Humble Monthly with upgraded Call of Doody...)
I'll sleep on it, but tbh I was waiting for a similar deal, if COD still sells/trades well, I can make a good unlock out of it, while being cheaper as a bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got a 3$ coupon but still skipping here as well. Maybe if it was a 6$ coupon...
Comment has been collapsed.
Strangely enough, I have been a solid subscriber for 2+ years - and have paused maybe 3 times, including this month and last month. Have never been offered a discount. Do you need to physically cancel to get the offer? (And not just pause a month I mean)
Comment has been collapsed.
https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/wDPOrX4
Not sure, but I think everybody might have gotten one. I only occasionally "sub" aka buy a month and then cancel my subscription everytime. There have been looong breaks inbetween two purchases for me, and I never had any other kind of plan, yet I still have that coupon. You might as well have it without knowing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can 100% confirm that not everyone got a coupon^^ no 6$ or 3$ for me as a month to month sub who paused this one. [Hey IGN, I would unpause with that 6$ coupon °hint° °hint°]. From all the posts I would say you get the 3$ from canceling and the 6$ from ?being lucky?.
Comment has been collapsed.
If there is anybody else who wonders if you have to receive an email to be eligible for that $3 off coupon the peeps up there ^^ are referring to: it seems you don't.
I was snooping around my Humble account and found said coupon in my coupon tab, while never having received any email telling me about it. So if you're interested in this offer, maybe have a look, you might as well have gotten one too without knowing it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Even with the $3 coupon, I'm passing on this humble bundle. A CoD game without a single player campaign has no appeal to me, and since that is the only reveal - and has been enhanced - I'm banking on the rest of the bundle being junk.
I'm assuming sales for this month are terrible. Humble keeps trying to sweeten the pot.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly, which is why I'm assuming they are junk.
There is simply no way this monthly bundle has sold well. Humble has upgraded the version of CoD, and that was very obviously a change of plans. We know this because of what happened with the keys, there is no chance they would have chosen to go with a lesser edition and revoke keys unless they had no alternative.
That still wasn't enough, so they are offering to knock $3 off the price.
This month's bundle is a hot mess. It must be complete garbage other than CoD, which they have obviously spent most of their monthly budget on. If there were other good games in it, they would have chosen to reveal those early to trigger more sales. This is far more logical than the tactics Humble has opted for instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it could be that or that they want to bring back that E3 Bundle they had 2 years ago with some big games.

Oh god, thats the worst Humble Bundle experience i ever had... Humble Bundle gave me a region restricted key from Saudi Arabia, and now HB support and Blizzard support are tossing me from one support side to the other.
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble went from having a very decent support system to having a legitimately terrible one.
They have an unstable subscription service, so they should expect people to cancel on them all the damn time. That's what they're in the business for. So punishing people for cancelling when they don't want what they're offering is a bit annoying.
But now they also dish out wrong keys and not deal with it? Standards have been lowered beyond reason imo.
Comment has been collapsed.
HB support just keep telling everything is right on their side, but clearly if the languaje i'm trying to install is not even mine and only shows one option, the key must be from the other region. From Blizzard, they tried everything on their hands, accesing my account directly and checking it by themselves, but it's the same.
HB support just says, impossible, everything fine on our side, and don't even resend me the activation lik for the key i paid for, that is what Blizzard support is claiming me to end the sentence and be 100% sure that the key is indeed from another region.
Can't understand why my activation link disappears once i clicked on it, leaving no trace of what i paid for...
Comment has been collapsed.
I work at technical support on ISP, pretty calm indeed! Hahaha.
Comment has been collapsed.
I also confirm, that if you activated battle edition, you will still receive full standard edition (NOT any upgrade)... And this one can be gifted and redeemed on another battle.net account ... the previous battle edition will not be revoked on the first battle.net account since they are two separate games. I asked support and they confirmed this (see the attachment) .. And I also tried it myself.
Seems a bit unfair to the people who bought the bundle after the change... Since the lucky ones who bought it earlier practically received two games.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is good to know. Finally there is some prof that the new key/game is intact that a new version and not a upgrade key that we were led to believe and it’s good news that redeemed battle editions won’t be revoked only those non-redeemed. But I didn’t care much myself for bo4 when I activated the battle edition since I wasn’t big on it. So in a way with this I got like a second chance to be able to trade or give it away and recoup some back from the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
the previous battle edition will not be revoked on the first battle.net account
They've intentionally stepped arounsd that question. Activated Battle Editions may not have been revoked yet but there's still every chance that they could be.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think isn't possible, as the game is linked directly to the Blizzard account.
