I'm mad about it, not because I like using the Famas but because once again the whiny b*tches get their way. The Famas isn't overpowered, its overused. Just like the AK74u was before it was nerfed, and just like the Galil will be after the nerfing. There are now overpowered weapons or perks in this game, people need to stop whining.

That's because you are likely one of the many people who jump on the bandwagon of ignorance regarding 'overpowered' this and 'overpowered' that. The game is pretty much balanced as it is. Only a few slight tweaks are needed.

I use the FAMAS a lot so this isn't good news to me. I wouldn't mind if they changed it to a 3 round burst like MW2 though. There's only two 3 round burst assault rifles, more variety would be nice.

Thats how you fix overpowered weapons dimwit.

I’m not touching the game until the patch is done. oke I am, but I’m just saying I am beyond happy that it is getting nerfed. All these people that only use it. Just playing them will be hilarious now. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why my Famasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, noooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I have no problem playing with the gun, nor do I feel cheated when killed by it, simply because I have killed a lot more people with it than they have killed me with it, I made sure of that, if it ever gets over that point I might make a Famas class again, but I don’t think it will now...
When you give an AR smg fire rate, ar recoil, accuracy and range, it’s going to get abused. (best centerspeed of all ars bar g11 with a predictable recoil pattern and again that fire rate and some still think it’s not Op or too easy to use, lol) People who fail to see the imbalance of this gun are A trolls. B Famas “only†depended users or C plain idiots or people so full of their own game experience that they feel counts more than all the statistics and in game experience that back up this gun being OP constantly.
Simply said I am extremely pleased at it being nerfed. You can’t say you feel Gun A is overpowered or that gun B is underpowered (same with perks), you will always be seen as a whiner on these forums by freaking retards who can’t or don’’t want to see the imbalance issues this game clearly has and the Famas nerf won’t change that, but is will certainly help create a bit more variation between the easiest to use section, the AR section, even if the upcoming patch is more placebo than anything. (which I don’t think it will be btw and that’s a good thing as long as the gun remains useful and doesn’t get a “models†type of nerf)
Luckily a 250 something thread of "logical" debating has made the devs see the imbalance of this gun in particular.
On a side note It’s beyond ridiculous that the mp40 never got the nerf on console too, just one nerf would have balanced WAW greatly while having variation overall. Yes, both is possible.
The famas is OP and is getting nerfed.

Apparently creating a more balanced shooter is a horrible idea.

He said tweaks...not complete nerfs. The FAMAS will probably be pretty much worthless after the update. That isn't balancing the game by any means, simply creating a useless item in the game.

i think he's talking about balance throughout the entire game dimwit

Yet you assume I want it to be worthless? No. All I want is a gunkick increase from 60 to 70 on up and to the right, centerspeed to 1400
The famas is literally 1:1 just as accurate as the Galil/Enfield. Fire 3 shots from both. They will average the same movement. Yet the famas shoots faster. Overpowered.

Considering you're ecstatic about the update...you do want it to be worthless.
I'd also like to point out that the M14 can easily beat out the FAMAS even in close quarters (obviously it will decimate it at medium to long distance) and the MPL also decimates it in close to medium quarters. If the FAMAS is overpowered, my favorite two guns have to be nerfed.

I don't care. I hardly use it. As long as the Galil doesn't get nerfed I am happy.

No dipshit, I dont. I want balance.
and no, the M14 isnt better than the Famas at any distance.

I'm disappointed, not because I use the Famas that much (I'm an AUG user) but because I disagree with nerfing in general in 90% of the cases where it is done, despite the game in question.
I got my first real bad taste of nerfing with Diablo 2 right after it came out. I built a Corpse Explosion Necro and Bliz nerfed the skill to the point where my character became absolutely useless. 20+ hours of gameplay wasted. Then I built a Guided Arrow Bowazon... nerfed... another 20+ hours wasted.
Each time, Blizzard was responding the whines from the community about a skill or build being overpowered. They went through countless nerfs, each time taking out the supposedly overpowered build. They claimed they wanted more diversity in character builds. That's an elusive goal that they never achieved after years of nerfing and trying. Each time, the community flocked to a new cookie cutter build.
Nerfing is rarely, if ever, the answer. It's a slippery slope and only leads to further nerfs and more frustration within the community. First the 74u, now the Famas. Some other gun will be next. Eventually, the guns used by those complaining now will be nerfed and then they will be frustrated too.
Instead of nerfing the Famas, why not pick a couple other guns and slightly improve them? This would keep Famas users happy, and probably make another segment happy as well. It might also promote some diversity by getting Famas users to try a different gun under positive circumstances instead of negative ones. Win/Win instead of the Lose/Lose path that nerfing puts the community on.
