Is the world ready for Call of Duty Battle Royale Humble Monthlies?
Just got $6 coupon for this from humble after I cancelled. Valid for 2 weeks. Might wait it out and see if there's another early unlock and then use it.

Wow. Definitely worth waiting. Even without another unlock that would be tempting just to get the reveals at the end.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it is tempting. I just worry that if they deem the value of black ops 4 to be high, they'll fill the rest of the bundle with more rubbish like last month.
Comment has been collapsed.
On the other hand, they might want to make up for all the disappointment with Black ops and add some decent games. It's always a bit of a gamble :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I will probably bite, I mean $6 is like a humble indie beat the average price, so if it's got some good indies it would be fine.
Comment has been collapsed.
True. Worth waiting to see if they reveal anything else though. Might make your decision easier :)

$6 !? My gawd... they are getting desperate.
But good for you!
I'm actually a bit jelly.

I got 2$, you should not have canceled it you get 10% + 6$ and the cancel!
Comment has been collapsed.
I got first time ever $2 coupon (but still have 9 month to go first ;) ). To not be total @#$$ i did not paused right after that but will probably pause anyway if they will not show any good additional unlocks...
Comment has been collapsed.
Also got the $6 coupon, today. Meh, don't know. Will the rest be good? At least they can't give I'm not a Monster, again. But no, thanks, don't like Black Ops.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now I'm tempted to cancel too instead of just pausing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I figured, if you're on month to month, cancelling sends a stronger message that the unlock sucks. Under reasons I even put, "I don't want a starter pack for an multiplayer only game".
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok got sick of waiting for more reveals and cancelled.
Lets see if they send me an offer for $6 off too :p

i got a 3 dollar discount but after reading this thread. meeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh .

Been playing a few hours each evening. Team Deathmatch queues are quite quick if that interests you.

Apparently they've started to ban people who continue to comment about this monthly in their Steam group...

EDIT: Looks like there is an option but requires linking battle.net account to your HB account.

No new early reveals today = subscription paused, just to be safe and avoid forgetting it. 👋
Comment has been collapsed.
Forgot to pause earlier.
Paused today, and still they didn't bother offering a bribe for next bundle to keep subbed.
Weird, are they running out of bribe money and give up with their effort to stop the mass pausing ??

Cancelled, if it isnt Steam I just dont want it, that goes for any game really.
Comment has been collapsed.
canceled that game is a garbage and I swallowed that time the destiny 2 that they put for free, HB that is not the way.
Comment has been collapsed.
paused today. dont like black ops. and the rest of the games is likely not good!
Comment has been collapsed.
$6 monthly, so I'm sure there'll be $6 worth of games this month. #NOREGRETS
Comment has been collapsed.
Wondering if there will be a new early reveal today.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am hoping for that as well so I can decide if I want to pause or not XD
Comment has been collapsed.
seems like there is no early reveal :( wondering if the bundle sold well enough that they don't have any.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or they just gave up on this one :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Well to be honest I am seeing a lot of marketing/ads for this monthly so not sure if it sold good cause of that or if they hope ads will work in the end XD
Comment has been collapsed.
this month they are giving away an incomplete game. I decided to pause. I'll watch the offers and i will buy black ops 4 in full version with the zombies
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought it, but only because my shitty mind couldn't stop wondering whether there's a deeper reason why they haven't revealed anything else this month despite the decidedly unpopular early unlock. Maybe they'll load this month with great/higher value games in an effort to create an incentive for different customer behavior. That's possible... right? To say "you can't judge a book by it's cover so start buying them all, even the ones that don't catch your eye--else you WILL miss out" and to stop so much reliance on early unlocks. This is totally possible right? Right?
They also recently started a new ad campaign, so they can't possibly have a lot of people's introductory one be disappointing... My justification for investing money in this is totally valid and not at all naive. Yes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or it's what they want you to think. dun dun dun...
Comment has been collapsed.
or there's nothing else coming in the bundle that would incentivize anyone on the fence to buy it :p I was tempted to still grab it too, but after last months weak effort and the declining value of their bundles over the year so far I decided to not take my chance. Watch this bite me in the butt though...

despite the decidedly unpopular early unlock.
That part might be the wrong assumption.

So you're askin me to get the riot ready? Aite!

I think MHW would rather be an early unlock for future months. Now that the Addon is announced it would be awesome

If you need monster hunting in your life, Dauntless is always there till Monster Hunter World is bundled.

Wishful thinking unfortunately, the Chrono price is roughly like the regular sale price. It just sells too good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Capcom aren't exactly averse to bundles, I wouldn't be surprised to see MHW in one around the time of the expansion release to drive up player numbers.
Comment has been collapsed.
The game currently sells for $35, no way it will get bundled for less than a third of that by September. At best in a 3rd tier at $25+ or something.
It sold 12 million copies, the 100k HB monthly subscribers are basically irrelevant compared to that for a playerbase increase.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh, I'm losing my interest in Monthly as a high quality mystery bundle. Mind you, I'm being a bit childish with my whole "I only want Steam keys", but regardless, that's my preference. I bought the Overwatch month, so it's not like I'll completely avoid other DRMs. Just that these games aren't good enough. First Origins, which is a good game, but since it exists on Steam, I want that copy instead, so it's my own personal preference and it's not really the fault of Humble. But now it's Black Ops 4. Mind you, CoD games are high quality products and there's no need to lie and claim otherwise. If you find them derivative, then just say that. But the problem with this month is just that you're not getting the game. Instead you're getting a glorified demo. And I'll be honest, that's just useless. The game's not doing well on PC at all and now they're funneling users to basically try and resuscitate the game for another 2 months.
Humble should have the standards to realize when buying a product isn't actually beneficial to their consumers and therefore make some judgement calls. BO4, a multiplayer only game with a highly restrictive edition, should not be peddled off to people like this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it still high quality if they cut corners by cutting out the entire singleplayer campaign? I personally object to calling BO4 that for that reason, I wouldn't object otherwise.
They did the same with BO3 so obviously learning is not in the future for HB and ActiVision.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it still high quality if they cut corners by cutting out the entire singleplayer campaign?
Depends, right? The gameplay's still good, the graphics are nice, the sound design's just as good. They cut out the single-player, but added Blackout. Mind you, I'm a single-player fan in CoD. I barely play multiplayer. But just because they remove one part of the game and add another, doesn't make it lesser quality.
It's still a AAA product that's well made.
I personally object to calling BO4 that for that reason, I wouldn't object otherwise.
And that's your prerogative. To me, a multiplayer-only game isn't something that is inherently lesser. There's a shitload of multiplayer-only games and a lot of them are great, in my eyes.
I have an issue with them giving the user a lesser version of the game, which locks you out of things. So when the game is already pretty much dying on this specific platform, then locking users out of content is what I'm objecting to. This is less of an issue with the specific game and more of an issue with the product type that's being provided. I'd have the same reaction if this were any other game in a similar predicament. If Siege was dying and they gave the Starter Edition in the Monthly, then my reaction would remain the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
They remove a part that needs a LOT of developer time (SP), with content like VO, animations, story with the most barebones lazy "complete in a day" game mode; Battle Royale. That's just a large map, same netcode as your regular MP already and... that's it. I hardly call that a swapout with similar quality. It's like trading a Ferrari for a cardboard box.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not a game dev and I haven't worked on their engine. Perhaps it truly is as basic as this.
Because personally I've never heard of a multiplayer-only game be easy to develop. Perhaps you're right and the single-player's really difficult compared to this. I'll take your word for it since I'm not experienced in game development, especially with the IW Engine, since it's not even publicly available. Personally I won't be buying a license just to try it out either :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Not saying MP is easy to design, but when you already have MP, stuffing a Battle Royale ontop is easy, and just requires some mapmakers. The network and weapons etc. is already shared with the other team anyway.
But you cut out a LOT of excess "meat" like lots of animators, story artists, voice actors, QA.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it's almost like humble is afraid to say no to a big publisher. Honestly, there are so many good quality indie games I'd sooner want in a bundle than this mp-only starter pack. It's like they feel that a big publisher game is going to be a major drawcard, but in reality a lot of people would sooner see a high quality indie as the headline act. I mean if they led with frostpunk, or hellblade, or celeste, or, or or (seriously, so many quality indie games out there) , I think the reaction would be better.
Any way, after I cancelled they sent me the $6 off coupon, so I gamble this month because I figure the other 6 games will be worth $6 at least, but I really hope they get the message after all the complaints.
Comment has been collapsed.
You cancelled monthly, got a 6$ off coupon for monthly and then subscribed again or how can I understand what you wrote?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup that was it exactly. I didn't want to pay $12 for the COD demo, so I cancelled right away. A week later they emailed me and offered the coupon to only pay $6. So I figured that deal was fair for the other 6 games. So I guess we'll see.

Last month was not that good as a blundle. I wish to have steam keys. No Origin, no Uplay, no Battlenet, nothing. That's why I think I will pause this month (except the will reveal a further pretty awesome game before end of May e.g. Forager). And if Humble starts with Epic games/keys I will immediately terminate my subscription.

It all comes down to personal preference. For me the unlocks (not the early ones) were great.
Comment has been collapsed.
Other keys are ok if games are good such as AC: Origins. But this month is just multiplayer of CoD so for many people thats quite a bad option. Still hope for another reveal or coupon.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, me as well. Good thin is, you can pause subscription until the last friday of a month and this month this will be the 31st I think, so you can pause last minute.
I also opend a ticket at Humble, just to give them feedback and that they should have a look at their subscription numbers/statistics and think about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
When they don't do second reveal till last minute there is possibillity for good unlocks or they just calculated one month like that and it still pays them off. Still I'll wait until last minute with decision to buy or don't.
And remeber that we have a nice bundle with graveyard keeper! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it is a nice Bundle, but I already have ~50% so, somehow it would feel bad to buy.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wonder if there will even be other early reveals this time.

Went to cancel but got 3$ off for next month, so I said f*** it why not.

Man, they sure made it tedious to pause. Let's see if I'll regret XD
