***Offical eVLution II Feedback Thread***

[ZyperioN]

oh and for the eggo II haters because of looks. i will admit i have yet to see a picture that shows them correctly. in real life they are awesome looking, and with how bulky the HALO is i wouldnt go as far to called it gorgeous, pretty, but definately not gorgeous. So plz dont get turned off right away because of looks because they really dont do well in pics. I had a friend who absolutely hated the eggo look, he wouldn't even have taken one if it was free. when he saw mine today his jaw dropped a good 6 inches, and now he is considering buying one. it really does look better in person than any pic. and with the whole chopping thing wit the spyder chopping on a HALO, i would have to see it to believe it. the evolution 2's design is much like the HALO's (reason for lawsuit) and there are absolutley NO GAPS in feeding. if u can chop on spyder with a HALO and a mechanical trigger u either need to have ur HALO inspected or get ur finger checked out cause something is wrong with that picture.

No it's not, that's a review of a production model eVLution II, from that article is a link to a look at the prototype of the eVLution II, and older separate article.

See you on the field,

Nope not the reason for the lawsuit at all. It was the patent on the eyes.

[ZyperioN]

oh yeah now i remember, thanks for jogging my mind cphillip

[cphilip]

Well actually you were sort of right...that is a "similarity in design" issue. So just clarifying is all as I didn't read it that was what you were meaning. No harm no foul if it was!

[ZyperioN]

yeah i cant believe i forgot about that. i read about it a few days ago and just blanked when writing my post. thanx for keeping things factual lol yeah i was talking about the eyes with my similarity of design saying

Actually I did hear a few new rumors about this.

Seemed that this lawsuit was/is going to go away from what I heard as it seems that BE is breaking a patent that Odyssey had on some of its technical stuff too. And so the issue is a wash as they will have to pay Odyssey money that would make the whole thing a wash. As we know BE sells far more units so they would end up paying more as its per unit to use the rights. So Odyssey halos are back into production as its a stalemate (or even a boon for Odyssey) or cost effective thing now... something like that.

Ok thats the rumor. Now a Boring interesting fact...

Also did you notice that the original law suit by BE was against some business's located in Greenville SC here. And filed in that Federal Court. Just chosen for some reason to be the filing site. The reasons are unkown to me at this time.

Actually for everyone out there who prefers the halo b over a evo 2, its been tested by players like us on the field and at different companies not brass eagle or odyssey and the evo 2 is capable of shooting 21 bps with fresh powerful batteries, and the halo isnt all its cracked up to be.....a disappointing 16.5...i will work on getting published documentation of the facts.

I plan on getting an evo II when certain *ahem*personal *ahem* issues are taken care of...

But as far as price, the cheapest I have seen them is around $65.00 at www.shop4paintball.com and www.paintballgateway.com ... Considering that is only a little more expensive than the revs, this should be a great deal!

We got quite the opposite so far in our independent trials. However none of them made 20 in bench testing. But then again without back pressure on the Halo B it slows down and that back pressure is hard to duplicate on the bench. Still it was running 3 bps faster than anything else.

And many of you forget one of the main reasons for chosing it is its better at shooting and feeding while sideways. Even if it was the same or slower. But it's not from my observations. I will have to disagree with you on that so far.

well i ahd the eggo 1 and its teh exact same outer seign as the eggo 2, i didnt like it i dont like the door i dont like the overall feel of it so will i shell out an extra 30 dollas for a halo ...your damn right i will cause if im already spending that much i want the best and as that chart shows halo is the fastest therefor the best imo

[hardr0ck68]

ok i just wanted to say one thing, it sounds as if performance wise the halo's and Evo II are about the same, halo wins out by a lil. Price wise there about the same, Evo wins out a lil. So the next question i would ask is where do i want my money to go? A puppet company of BE or a small R&D based company? As i see BE as all that is Evil in paintball.... If i were to buy an Evo II i would hafta also sell my mags and buy an angel just off princapal (no offense ment to angel owners and none ment to Evo owners, preferance is all, also im sorry for the spelling)

What? You mean a company that has pulled thousands of people into this sport, and worldwide recognized as producing bad products has ACTUALLY produced a GOOD product for once?

Quick we must NOT support it! If we do, they might make that a disturbing trend! Producing quality products is evil!

[SirOssis]

does anyone have a picture of an eggo II on a warp?

[Mr. T!]

Actually, the production model halos DONT feed 22bps, they dropped it to like 18 or something for production. It seems like HALOs hold hardly any paint at all. I think the evo's look pretty cool, i kinda want one.
