Is the Famas the new MP40?

In that it is a gun that everyone seems to use because everyone can agree it is a bit overpowered but Treyarch does nothing to balance it breaking the game. I believe it is.

    Bit over powered , But one thing for sure is that it is way too overused... It's on the Favorate weapon, on the ground to pick up, In the kill cams, you can hear that Famas shooting all the time. It's boring playing the same people over and over again, mostly Ghost/Famas.

    no, the famas overpoweredness is an exaggeration, sure its slightly more powerful than the other guns but if it wasnt, whats the point in having like 10 assault rifles if they all act exactly the same albeit that actually, to be honest, they do pretty much all act the same. The enfield, galil, ak47, commando, aug, ak74u, and famas...whats the difference?....not much, although people will make you believe the famas is more effective than an upgraded ray gun.

    im not saying the famas is crap, it is the best gun, but not as overpowered as everyone thinks, most people will die alot of times to it because it is a popular gun, then just jump on the band-wagon shouting "its unfair its unfair"

    the mp40 is totally different, an smg that kills in 2 shots at all ranges, can OHK with stopping power, 2/3 shot kill without stopping power, meaning it can be combined with juggernaut, plus with a huge magazine size so you can spray at 5 people and kill them without reloading, and it had a much longer continuous fire time than the light machine guns, whose function would be to give support fire.- note there were no assault rifles to counter this gun.

    the mp40 is overpowered the famas is just better than other guns - theres a difference

    Ummm... thats not true at all about the MP40

    It 2HKs for a short range, then switches to 4HK. It does not 1HK w/ SP.


    They dont have to be the same. Look at MW2. All felt different, yet were balanced well enough.

    OHK with stopping power to the head...which still counts, and oh sorry, 4HK in the leg from across the map well my information is wrong the mp40 is crap and is infact underpowered...

    and no, not really, the ACR was a slightly better M4 carbine (because they forgot to put recoil on it), the ak47 was the same as the carbine and the famas was a slightly better m16, because its bursts were slightly faster. the ump was different but was mainly used with marathon lightwieght and commando for stabbing (not balanced), the shotguns were all 1 or 2HK at short/medium range so no the guns werent that different, apart from the crap guns e.g. f2000 which no one used.

    then go back to COD4 the m16 is almost 3burst version of the carbine, the carbine was the same as the g36c, the ak47 is pretty similar,  the ak74u is a SMG version of the ak47, m14 and g3 is the same

    W@W: type 100, thomspon, are the same, SVT and ghewer are exactly the same apart one has noob tube, so W@W is probably the most diverse.... but it included the mp40 so everyone just used that

    That does not qualify it as a 1HK. The FAL can 1HK w/ SP in MW2.. for a few meters. Doesnt count. Its a 2HK. Long range, it 4HKs to the whole body, 3HK to the head. Qualifies it as a 4HK.

    Of course its OP, but you're trying to make it look like for something to be truly unbalanced it has to be a 1hk laser wtfbbq microwave??? 3000000W ?!?!?, while in reality the Famas is almost as imbalanced as the MP40; and the MP40 is game-breaking.   

    Yes, the ACR was slightly better than the M4
    Yes, the TAR was slightly better than the AK47
    Yes, the RPD was slightly better than the L86
    Yes, the Vector was slightly better than the Mini-Uzi

    But, aside from the UMP, nothing was so imbalanced that its competing weapons were never used. This does happen with the Famas.

    You could use any weapon and it would have a different feel in MW2. It wasnt like the Aug vs Commando where the only real difference is the firerate. Hm, which should I use?

    And no, the Famas and M16 shot the exact same speed with the exact same delay. The Famas has less recoil and maintains 2HK for a slightly longer range. The M16 does gain a purpose when used with the Holographic sight where its recoil is reduced to far less than that of the Famas, and it also has far less muzzle flash.

    Weapons can only be so different. IW does a great job on making them feel and play differently. Would you like to name more ways to differentiate the MW2 M16 from the MW2 Famas? How about the L86 vs RPD? Heck, the classes even play similarily in BO. I can run and gun with an LMG almost as well as I can with an SMG, though I could use an AR and do better than either of those.

    I would never DARE run and gun with an RPD.

    I would never camp with a Vector.

There's hardly any difference. That's the problem.

    im not saying the famas is crap, it is the best gun, but not as overpowered as everyone thinks, most people will die alot of times to it because it is a popular gun, then just jump on the band-wagon shouting "its unfair its unfair" It's overpowered. That's all there is to it.

Everything I highlighted is wrong.

    the mp40 is overpowered the famas is just better than other guns - theres a difference A lot better. AKA, overpowered.

    OHK with stopping power to the head...which still counts, and oh sorry, 4HK in the leg from across the map well my information is wrong the mp40 is crap and is infact underpowered... Never said that. It's 4HK ANYWHERE besides the head. The OHK to the head is only at close range.

    and no, not really, the ACR was a slightly better M4 carbine (because they forgot to put recoil on it) They didn't forget. They gave it no recoil to balance it. If it had recoil, it'd be useless., the ak47 was the same as the carbine What carbine? and the famas was a slightly better m16, because its bursts were slightly faster.Nope. M16 had a quicker raise and drop time, and a quicker reload. Famas had longer range. the ump was different but was mainly used with marathon lightwieght and commando for stabbing (not balanced) It was annoying, but how was it unbalanced? They had to knife you and you had a gun. With bullets. You can kill them from any range and they have to be right next to you., the shotguns were all 1 or 2HK at short/medium range so no the guns werent that differentShotguns had different ranges, fire rates and damages., apart from the crap guns e.g. f2000 which no one used. The F2000 wasn't crap, it was a close range gun.

    then go back to COD4 the m16 is almost 3burst version of the carbine The difference is maybe the higher damage and the fact that it's three burst?, the carbine was the same as the g36cM4 had higher fire rate and less recoil (evened out due to the fire rate), the ak47 is pretty similar, No it's not.  the ak74u is a SMG version of the ak47No it's not., m14 and g3 is the sameThe M14 does more damage than the G3 and has more recoil to compensate.

    W@W: type 100, thomspon, are the same, SVT and ghewer are exactly the same apart one has noob tube, so W@W is probably the most diverse.... but it included the mp40 so everyone just used that. You serious? MW2 was. Coincidentally, it was most fun.

    No. The MP40 couldn't kill across the map at full auto on core, not even on Dome.
    That and all the W@W guns were just as good and even more fun to use. No gun was underpowered in W@W. As Goldilocks would say, "This game is just right."

    Ak74u with grip and raped fire pre patch was the new mp40. Famas is what it is, The easiest to use AR. Overpowered? Not really. It can be beaten you just need to be good with the gun you're using, if you are you won't even be noticing what others are using. Besides Famas is always good for getting challanges done quickly.

    The AK74u pre patch was more like the Thompson in recoil, fire rate, and stopping power. And more like the MP40 in popularity.

    Re: Is the Famas the new MP40?
    The Famas is just as OP as the MP40 was, if not even worst.

    But Treyarch doesn't care.
    It's the MLGs' favorite gun and recently Vahn has been sucking up to them, so we can forget a Famas tweak.

    I haven't touched this garbage game we call Black Ops for 3 months anyway, and I still don't even feel like playing it the least bit
    Just to see how terrible the variety is and how not-caring Treyarch truly is...

    Yes well smgs should be good close range, better than ARs, what made the mp40, ump and pre patch ak74u OP is their range abilities they could compete with ars where other smgs failed. What do you mean stopping power? The damage? it is more similar to the mp40.

    The Thompson was the underdog because it didn't have a 60+ round drum clip. If you used it you would know that it killed faster because of its better fire rate and accuracy.

    MP40 = 55-29
    Thompson and 74u = 40-20

    74u has 35-20 actually but between us that's the same ****.

    What about Fire rate, range (drop off of power) and recoil, it's simply the 74u was more similar to the mp40. Both easy to use overpowered smgs with abilities to compete on range.

    Or do you really think the Thompson was top dog at one point in waw like the mp40 still is and ak74u was in Black Ops.

    Your right, there is no difference between the  famas, AK47-u, galil, and Commando. there all over powered.
    These are the ONLY guns you will see people use because they are so easy to use.

    Atleast in MW2 you get to see a HUGE variety of weapons.

    Bro.

    AK74u = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Mp40 = 2-4 shots, 535 RPM, moderate recoil
    Thompson = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Can you tell me which weapon is more similar to the 74u ?

    Bro.

    AK74u = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Mp40 = 2-4 shots, 535 RPM, moderate recoil
    Thompson = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Can you tell me which weapon is more similar to the 74u ?


    Thank you

    Re: Is the Famas the new MP40?
    So now you people whining about the Famas say its so overpowered that its game-breaking?
    This is beyond sad now. I can not facepalm enough. People, its OVERUSED and the BEST gun. BEST does NOT equal OVERPOWERED. The Famas is so easy to beat its not even funny.

    lol at moderate recoil.

    Mp40 had way less recoil than the thompson, no doubt. It was easier to use and killed quicker. It's good on range too. It was and is OP. Just like the ak74u with grip and raped fire (made it kill instantly while the recoil remained low do to grip & raped fire combo). No doubt the MP40 and ak74u were similar as in game breaking OP. This is not even up for debate.

    What debate? It's obvious you don't know anything about W@W.

    As for literacy

    AK74u = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Mp40 = 2-4 shots, 535 RPM, moderate recoil
    Thompson = 3-5 shots, 750 RPM, low recoil

    Well my definition of OP is different than everyone elses. To me, a gun is OP when it is unchallenged at every possiblily, so IMO no gun has ever been OP in COD history (well ok maybe the pre-patch models). The Famas is just the weakest argument because whenever I see people argue for its OPness they only bring out the stats that you have to get from some website that you can't even see on the game itself.
    With the UMP, you could argue it was OP because it could kill from extreme distances.
    With thhe MP40, you could argue it was OP becuase when you strapped on a drum mag, juggernaut, and steady aim it was an amazing gun.
    With the COD4 M16, it could kill in 1 burst from a lot of different ranges.
    With the Famas, people only bring out stats from a website showing how its OP. There is no way to prove with just gameplay that its OP like how there was with the other guns I listed. I don't beleive those guns were OP, but I could at least see their argument because of those reasons. Any noob could pick up those guns and **** with them. A noob cannot pick up a Famas and totally **** with it. Hell my K/D with it is like .60.
    Just because the Famas CAN out do an SMG at SMG length doesn't mean it always will. ANY gun CAN win at ANY lenght if given the chance. Its all in the player. Yes, a famas is noob friendly, but my MPL with rapid fire will take it out at close range combat every. time.
    It may be the best gun, I won't deny that, it is a great gun, but it is NOT OP. I cannot **** any gun at any length with it.

    Your gun stats my show that its OP on paper, but when you throw it into a game where you have to include perks, skill level, lag, hit detection, and just the game itself, its not OP.

    So go ahead, flame me. You won't change my opinion because I know its not OP and so does 3arc because they havn't and won't do anything to it.

    Again, it had less recoil and needed less bullets to kill than the thompson, on top of that all the range damage drop off was less and easier to control all similar to the ak74u.
    If anything the only difference between the mp40 and ak74u was fire rate, and well do to the raped fire and grip combo and no stopping powere in waw, it was made pretty even. Both raped. The thompson. Just another gun. Fact. Mp40 and pre patch ak74u Beasts. best most easy to use guns in the game. Fact.

    You keep talking about "patches" for the 74u.
    Here are the 2 patches done on the AK74u post-launch :

    - Grip centerspeed decreased to 1700 (formerly 1800)
    - Max damage reduced to 35 (formerly 40)

    Basically the second patch isn't even significant as 35 and 40 both mean 3 shots are required to kill.

    So basically, the only tweak done on the 74u was a minor recoil reduction, which was only noticeable on players using the grip.

    There's your patch.

    no, the famas overpoweredness is an exaggeration, sure its slightly more powerful than the other guns but if it wasnt, whats the point in having like 10 assault rifles if they all act exactly the same albeit that actually, to be honest, they do pretty much all act the same. The enfield, galil, ak47, commando, aug, ak74u, and famas...whats the difference?....not much, although people will make you believe the famas is more effective than an upgraded ray gun.

    im not saying the famas is crap, it is the best gun, but not as overpowered as everyone thinks, most people will die alot of times to it because it is a popular gun, then just jump on the band-wagon shouting "its unfair its unfair"

    the mp40 is totally different, an smg that kills in 2 shots at all ranges, can OHK with stopping power, 2/3 shot kill without stopping power, meaning it can be combined with juggernaut, plus with a huge magazine size so you can spray at 5 people and kill them without reloading, and it had a much longer continuous fire time than the light machine guns, whose function would be to give support fire.- note there were no assault rifles to counter this gun.

    the mp40 is overpowered the famas is just better than other guns - theres a difference


    2 hit up close, 4 at range. Can not  1HK any with or without SP. High recoil. 535 RPM. OP.

    Next, the FAMAS. 3-4 hits, good range. 938 RPM. Low recoil. Kills faster than the MP40's two hit kill with its three.

    More recoil and less damage mean less kills on range. I used to take out multiple people on range, that has changed. It is significantly less effective on range, more of a smg now, it used to a great smg / ar in one with the grip and raped fire combo. It was unfair especially with LW that speed, all-round range and power was game breaking, all you would see in s&d was the ak74u.

    It’s way less used now for a reason. Whatever people may say the patch was effective. The Famas has over taken it as best all-rounder.

    This is not accurate. The Famas had less delay in between each single round and the M16 had less delay in between each shot with a higher delay between each of the three rounds. They equaled out to the same fire rate, but there was still a difference. If you had decent aim, the Famas was the better choice.

    Again, damage is important since it effects the range drop off and grip was always used usually in combo with RP... The gun had less recoil and less hitmarkers on range. It was significantly better pre patch.

    I don't use the mp40 a lot nor did I ever, I usually pick the springfield or ptrs when playing waw. When not sniping on a small map type100 or when medium stg or the last lmg (forgot the name F something). I know how well balanced that game was bar one gun, the mp40. If they nerf that gun it would have been the most balanced cod in history imo.

    Re: Is the Famas the new MP40?
    The amount of damage that the MP40 did on the consoles was 50-20, which means even with SP it couldn't OHKO close range with a headshot (50*1.4*1.4=98). Its damage though made it stronger than every other SMG and its huge clip as well as lower RoF and low recoil made it superb when it came to SMGs. Obviously overpowered when it comes to SMGs in that game.

    Then came the UMP45 in MW2. This is the MP40 of MW2 because of exactly the same reasons the MP40 was overpowered in W@W. Its damage is 40-35, not 30-20 or even 40-30. This means that it has a higher damage at range, than assault rifles. That's right, this SMG has a higher max-range damage than the assault rifles (excluding the FAL of course. It was matched with the FAL's max-range damage). Let's compare for a moment:

    W@W:

    MP40: 50 - 20
    Close range: 2HK
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    Thompson: 40 - 20
    Close range: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    The difference you can see here is close range.

    Now for MW2:

    UMP45: 40 - 35
    Close range: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 3HK
    Long range w/ SP: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)

    Mini-Uzi: 30 - 20
    Close range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2-4HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    The difference is easy to notice.

    Even with Firetime differences between them I'm still pretty sure (if someone really wants to work out the math for each of the four categories for each of the four guns, go ahead. Firetime for each weapon: MP40: .112, Thompson: .08, UMP45: .095, Mini-Uzi: .0625) they don't matter.

    However, due to the lack of SP in BO, firerates do matter when comparing the ARs at short or long ranges. Each of the categories people compare have 3-4HK weapons (40-30 vs 35-25) so technically a higher RoF matters, making the FAMAS and AUG "faster killers" than the Galil, AK47, and Commando, but only by some miniscule amount that is likely never to make a difference. The recoil of the FAMAS is also shared by the Galil and Enfield, making the Galil, IMO, the "best" AR at all distances, but only if you ignore that miniscule amount of time which will, again, hardly make a difference assuming you both start shooting at the same time and all of both of your shots hit. So if you are preparing for such an unlikely moment and don't care about medium range, use the FAMAS. However if you're willing to base your gun choice on events which are likely to happen, choose the Galil.

    This is all assuming, of course, that you aren't willing to leave your safety zone.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Edit: Actually, I didn't consider headshots for the ARs in BO. The "Commando/AK47/Galil" group (40-30) has a chance to get a 2HK if both bullets are headshots, while the FAMAS/AUG/Enfield group (35-25) will require another shot to the head (3 shots) to get the headshot kill. So, another reason to use the "Commando/AK47/Galil" group.

    Again, or, you could not choose a gun solely on its performance and take a step out of your safety zone, like 'good' players do.

    I taunt you again with the "oooooooooooooo."

    Then came the UMP45 in MW2. This is the MP40 of MW2 because of exactly the same reasons the MP40 was overpowered in W@W. Its damage is 40-35, not 30-20 or even 40-30. This means that it has a higher damage at range, than assault rifles. That's right, this SMG has a higher max-range damage than the assault rifles (excluding the FAL of course. It was matched with the FAL's max-range damage). Let's compare for a moment:

    W@W:

    MP40: 50 - 20
    Close range: 2HK
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    Thompson: 40 - 20
    Close range: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    The difference you can see here is close range.

    Now for MW2:

    UMP45: 40 - 35
    Close range: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2HK
    Long range: 3HK
    Long range w/ SP: 2-3HK (Depending on a headshot)

    Mini-Uzi: 30 - 20
    Close range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Close range w/ SP: 2-4HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range: 4-5HK (Depending on a headshot)
    Long range w/ SP: 3-4HK (Depending on a headshot)

    The difference is easy to notice.

    Even with Firetime differences between them I'm still pretty sure (if someone really wants to work out the math for each of the four categories for each of the four guns, go ahead. Firetime for each weapon: MP40: .112, Thompson: .08, UMP45: .095, Mini-Uzi: .0625) they don't matter.

    However, due to the lack of SP in BO, firerates do matter when comparing the ARs at short or long ranges. Each of the categories people compare have 3-4HK weapons (40-30 vs 35-25) so technically a higher RoF matters, making the FAMAS and AUG "faster killers" than the Galil, AK47, and Commando, but only by some miniscule amount that is likely never to make a difference. The recoil of the FAMAS is also shared by the Galil and Enfield, making the Galil, IMO, the "best" AR at all distances, but only if you ignore that miniscule amount of time which will, again, hardly make a difference assuming you both start shooting at the same time and all of both of your shots hit. So if you are preparing for such an unlikely moment and don't care about medium range, use the FAMAS. However if you're willing to base your gun choice on events which are likely to happen, choose the Galil.

    This is all assuming, of course, that you aren't willing to leave your safety zone.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Edit: Actually, I didn't consider headshots for the ARs in BO. The "Commando/AK47/Galil" group (40-30) has a chance to get a 2HK if both bullets are headshots, while the FAMAS/AUG/Enfield group (35-25) will require another shot to the head (3 shots) to get the headshot kill. So, another reason to use the "Commando/AK47/Galil" group.

    Again, or, you could not choose a gun solely on its performance and take a step out of your safety zone, like 'good' players do.

    I taunt you again with the "oooooooooooooo."



    It doesn't take long to die in the game, so even a small statistic can make a difference. If miniscule statistics don't matter, than rapid fire is useless, since it only kills 0.01 seconds faster than a FAMAS on a 74u.

    If it's fire rate doesn't matter, than what's the point in using any SMG then? I don't want to bring up the whole "then the 74u becomes the dominant SMG thing". But it does happen. The faster mobility is nice, but when you got something that moves nearly as fast, is more usable mid-long range and kills faster, it makes you reconsider your options.

    My "safety zone" has wide boundries, I've used every gun in the game and know how to use every gun in the game. The reason why I have a problem with this is because I notice some things, mainly the SMGs. Like how a FAMAS out hip fires one. I all the guns, excluding the uzi. Or well, I used to. I consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none. What I dislike, is I use all the guns, just for the heck of it, not like many of them are actually good. They're just obsolete. Went 29-8 with PM63, destroyed close range. Obsolete gun. Went 30-11 with an AK47 in prestige team death match. Obsolete gun. I like it where in MW2, no gun was obsolete and everything had a point.

    The guns performance is good medium range and excellent close range. Good long range as well. Not quite as accurate as say, a Galil, but pretty close. Still controllable.

    Yeah, I agree with Jackel. I just don't want any guns to be completely obsolete, kind of like how the AK47 is, or most SMGs are. I think to do this, they'd need a complete overhaul of the entire game, which is most definitely not going to happen. Sorry if you disagree, but I can honestly never understand how people consider BLOP the most balanced COD weapon wise. I personlly think it was probably COD4, then WaW - the MP40, then MW2. If we are including MP40, then MW2 is above WaW

    No.

    The Famas is just the Famas.

    You're using a really bad example to claim that Rapid Fire, with my logic, would be useless.

    The RoF for the FAMAS is already high at 937 rps and the 74u has a fairly low RoF at 750 rps. Adding the Rapid Fire to the 74u brings it slightly above the FAMAS at 1000 rps.

    Obviously if you were to use rapid fire on a Skorpion and shoot someone at close range and then use a Commando to kill someone at close range, you would kill a person exactly twice as quickly using the Skorpion. I'm not arguing that RoF (Rapid Fire in this case) is irrelevant or useless in situations like this because it obviously isn't. This is completely different from the comparison you used. Obviously Rapid Fire wouldn't be super helpful in the situation you described.

    And you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that RoF is completely irrelevant in every single case, no matter what the circumstances. I was saying that a difference in killing time, like the 74u+RF vs. FAMAS example you mentioned, is likely going to be irrelevant in nearly all cases. Can you imagine how many cases you are in where there is no lag whatsoever, you start shooting someone at the same time they start shooting you, and you both hit each other with every single shot not mixing headshots with bodyshots?

    Seriously?

    edit: I think that the mobility that you have with an SMG vs an AR can absolutely make the difference though, especially when paired with Lightweight and especially when hipfiring. The amount of strafing that can be done or simply the speed you can avoid shots is hugely increased, quite similar to my example of how Rapid Fire is great on the Skorpion vs the Commando.

    Also, the FAMAS does not "out hipfire" SMGs. All ARs (excluding the G11) have a larger hipfire spread than the SMGs.
