User blog:Smuff/Famas getting 'nerfed' in Call of Duty: Black Ops!

After many months of being killed by the Famas, also known many members of the community as the Nooby Piss Sprayer, those who hate it will celebrate immensely. On Saturday, June 18th, Vonderhaar declared over Twitter that the Famas is to be nerfed.

This is because when the patch happens, the Stoner63 will share the same rate of fire, maximum damage, magazine size, faster ADS and lower movement speed. However, Treyarch seem to have overlooked one key thing; the AUG was virtually identical to the Famas, and thus will become the strongest Assault Rifle in-game. What does this mean for us? Well for people who don't like the Famas, it might end up becoming public enemy number one, and with Treyarch finally patching the most popular gun in the game, who knows what will happen next?

I will be honest, I was very happy after seeing this; one of the main reasons I stopped playing Black Ops was because of the intensity the Famas was used. There's only so much fun you can have in a game when you get killed in 13 hundredths of a second by the most common gun ever.

In the meantime, with the Famas being nerfed, the AUG should become the most used Assault Rifle in the game due to it's similar traits.

I think it;s safe to say no flaming... 12:14, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
