Evo2 or HaloB?

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Because sometimes, the companies wont sell the color you want. duh. I made mine black and red. I've never see Viewloader sell a black and red one. Have you? Nice try, but stop attacking me when you feel you have to vent about something NoSkills. All I said was, that you can color them to suit your taste. That is an innocent remark, made about customization. How would you like it if I followed you around the board and tried to pick a fight with you at every turn about the dumbest stuff? Get a life, or attack some preschoolers who cant defend themselves. Now be a good boy, and removed again... cphilip off.

noskilz, grow up. seriously. Does your super-duper-i-have-a-crank-for-when-the-battery-dies halo come in red and black? black and clear? smoke and red?

Eggs are great. Turn the switch and go. Halo is finally catching up to the first egg board, with the adjustable ROF. Maybe they'll even convert to switches, as eggs did like 2-3 years ago? Eggs also hold more, and are capable of feeding plenty fast. If not, you probably dont use straight semi (not sure, but don't you have a timmy noskilz?).

Halos are very finickey. What happens when you have to use Marballizers or something, and your precious halo cant see it? Spend another $50 and get a reloader? They can run on 9v's sometime as well, but not on parallel 9vs. I saw a guy have two halos die in one game (his died, ref got him his other, and it stopped working too).

Noskilz, back to you. Did you check to make sure the Halo is compatible with your gun? Nevermind, you dont know why you didnt check, maybe it was all the paint chips you ate eating away at your brain cells.

The only problem I ever had with the egg was the Egg 1's lid broke, but they've been improved. Its sad to see my angel go, just so I cant use the intellifed one. I presume, that if you did have an angel, that you'd be unable to succeed with the utilization of sensi. Sensi+intellifeed egg = blaze paint all day, not a single ball break.

I highly suggest the egg. Both have their positives, but I feel the egg's (ample) positives outweigh the halos (speeed).

Also look into apaches, a nice blend of the two.

It seems there's a lot of things in life you just don't get, and this is one of them. Anyone who bases their decision of what hopper to buy on a concept like....

Yeah, Evo. You can customize their color much easier

...deserves to shoot an Evo. The rest of us who care about equipment performance will get the hopper that best feeds our markers. So don't flatter yourself. If you were to find another hobby and never post on AO again, it wouldn't effect my life in the slightest. If you don't like people pointing out how dumb you are, stop making dumb posts.

Mark, you aren't much better. If you were literate you would already know I shoot NYX Matrix #16 with an Empire Reloader B. You don't even bother to look, you just jump onto the flamewagon. If anyone here knows how finicky Halos are, that would be me.
You, on the other hand, obviously don't shoot very fast, because the fastest mode on an Angel is Sensi mode 2, and if you gravity feed an Angel on Sensi 2 you are bound to chop. The other alternative is the other sensi modes which are slower than hell. I suppose you think you are smart avoiding the "Halo" problem, but that problem only exists for people who haven't discovered how easy it is to adjust their ram. But even without ram adjustments, anything is better than stacking a blimp to the top of my gun.
Oh, but I guess it holds more paint. That will come in handy when they start making bigger pods. Did it ever occur to you that after the first hopper, you will have to load at the same rate regardless of the hopper size?
Fact is I can keep going for days on the both of you, and not even try to put you down or call you names like you both tried to do. Just accept it and move on.

...anything is better than stacking a blimp to the top of my gun.

Now that's ironic. They're all blimps. Who in their right mind would shoot a Halo and call any other top-hopper a blimp? It just happens that the Evo shifts the higher-capacity blimp a little further back on the marker. Who's the smarter of the two in the blimp department?

Oh, but I guess it holds more paint. That will come in handy when they start making bigger pods. Did it ever occur to you that after the first hopper, you will have to load at the same rate regardless of the hopper size?

Reloading's not exactly as simple a subject as you would make it out to be.

Increased hopper capacity means more slack in when you choose to reload, and potentially how long that reload takes, and how much you actually get out of the reload. The packed capacity of a Halo B is 168 balls, taken from here:

http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=88666

I'm going to presume you're not out there shaking and packing paint into your Halo mid-game. I'd say you can have, what, 10-15 balls (?) at most left in your Halo in order to get a full reload off a packed 140 round tube.

If you don't, then you get to play the "scoop the excess paint off the top of the hopper" game (or I guess if you wanted to you COULD shake & bake mid-game), plus of course you lose paint. I see this over and over when I watch people with Halo's play. It doesn't take that long, but I've noticed that everyone has to look down to see whether or not they need to scoop first in the first place, then scoop, then close up and get back to the game.

With a larger capacity, you can get the most out of the reloads, be a little more flexible in when you choose to reload, and the reloads will probably go faster.


The Evo2's not without its own faults... like how it's gravity fed until the impeller decides to wake up.




I will say this though, I am highly entertained by the "great service" provided by Odyssey to fix all broken Halos for FREE! Yes! That's not a bug, that's a FEATURE! Reminds me of that Tommy Boy scene where he's talking about the guarantee on a box.

hahaha, sorry to hijack the thread, but that movie is CLASSIC

If you were to find another hobby and never post on AO again, it wouldn't effect my life in the slightest. If you don't like people pointing out how dumb you are, stop making dumb posts. -> stop replying to them if you dont want a response... sorry son, I think there are more people here that dislike you. You would probably now proceed to tell us to go back to PBN, but I dont think you are even good enough for that. Go flame the matrix owners for their opinions.

Mark, you aren't much better. If you were literate you would already know I shoot NYX Matrix #16 with an Empire Reloader B. -> now if I cared, it may be different, but, i dont. And, where does it say about a halo? There is NO sig, so am I to find it there? And, why are you in this thread if you dont use either of the items, or not recent versions? Just to flaunt youre terrific new equiptment that mommy and daddy bought you?

You don't even bother to look, you just jump onto the flamewagon. If anyone here knows how finicky Halos are, that would be me. -> i believe we all do, hence the reason we advise against them, rather than just troll the forums and flame for suggestions, oberservations, and ideas. be a little bit constructive.

You, on the other hand, obviously don't shoot very fast, because the fastest mode on an Angel is Sensi mode 2, and if you gravity feed an Angel on Sensi 2 you are bound to chop. -> who said it is gravity feed jackass? maybe i use a warp (which, I do). Also, if you read, you will see they have modes that will fire no paint, like 1 and 3. You probably also use a dwell of 11 because its 6 milliseconds faster. I dont shoot fast? Maybe our fields suck too, and we're no good, but ask warped about that.

The other alternative is the other sensi modes which are slower than hell. I suppose you think you are smart avoiding the "Halo" problem, but that problem only exists for people who haven't discovered how easy it is to adjust their ram. But even without ram adjustments, anything is better than stacking a blimp to the top of my gun. -> as pointed out, blimp eh? whats a halo? a brick?

Oh, but I guess it holds more paint. That will come in handy when they start making bigger pods. Did it ever occur to you that after the first hopper, you will have to load at the same rate regardless of the hopper size? -> maybe this allows you to shoot off the break for 50 shots more, at least 2.5 (well you'd probably argue) seconds,allowing your front guys to get where they need to be? maybe this allows your front guy to not get bunkered because hes not out of paint when hes reloading?

Fact is I can keep going for days on the both of you, and not even try to put you down or call you names like you both tried to do. Just accept it and move on. -> dont you hate hypocrites?

Hell, maybe I use/own halo and prefer the egg, and I am giving him an honest opinion.

[coolcatpete]

Halo because it has the speed and looks compared to the evo

Wow, you do act like a 5 year old. You must be a complete moron to assume that I would choose a hopper based on the fact that "You can color it easier." Thats like me saying, "go buy a bmx bike, and in a week you will be doing tricks like a pro." Please use common sence, and a little more brain power. And if you were to leave me alone, and not bother me ever again, I'd be much happier. Also, if you dont want people pointing out how much of an @$$hole you are, stop being one.

Also, like Mark said, try being constructive. I realize how my comment could have been taken the wrong way, but still, you could have just said "well, besides the face thats it's easy to color, what else do you like about it?" See, simple. Real simple. I can go as many rounds as you can. Now, as I said before, Final straw. Removed AGAIN - cphilip

Three strikes and your out. Three days for cursing and you will check your email in a minute and see - cphilip

no one can joke in here sometimes.... you guys take it way to heart.

No Skillz made a comment ... he didnt say anyone was a moron or anything, and you guys went off on him. i have met him, very cool guy... very nice also. plus he has plenty of skill.


now to arguing... i have both a halo and a Z boarded egg.
the Halo Defently feels more sturdy, and its insanly fast.
when you upgrade to a faster gun you wont have to change loaders.
the small capacity defently is a drawback at least to me, because i hat having to throw away the last 20 balls in a pod. also VEry heavy.
i suggest a Relaoder B if thinking of halos.

the Egg i feel rides just about just about the same level if you cut the feedneck. it defently doesnt feel very well made, but i havent had a problem with mine yet. with the Z board it has a decent speed. enough for me at most times. a problem i have noticed with the egg is when you get to the last 10 balls in there... if your shooting constantly they will bounce ALL over the place and give big gaps in feeding.

find a friend to loan you a halo and try it out and see if its right for you.

Its hard to pick up sarcasm over the internet.

Halo.. I've never had a seriouse problem with mine except when I never cleaned it for like 6 months, which all that happened was it shredded a ball in the hopper.. If you clean it when it gets dirty, and you replace the batteries when the light turns red you should be fine. I love my halo and wouldn't replace it with any other hopper

[WarpFeedonaSpyder89]

i've always like an egg on my cocker (but now i like my warpfeed better!), but i would get the HALO. the shells are a lot better and come in colors. and HALO's aren't back-heavy like eggs are. u can get a rip-drive and z-code, and maybe a V35 board.

[tonybhall]

Wow, talk about a hijacked thread

I am glad Joni got the info he was looking for before this thread went down the tubes.

This next comment is not pointed at anyone specific, it's just a general observation. Has anyone other than me noticed that some people just can't seem to post anything without drawing flames? There is an old saying that goes something like this. "When everyone else is always wrong, take a look at yourself, maybe it's you." I think some people just get off on getting into online fights. I don't know about everyone else here, but I find it rather exhausting having to read through all the name calling and other BS to get to the info that really matters.

Why is it nessesary to call people "stupid" or "morons" and get into a big tiff over their opinions? Even if they are stupid, why do some people feel the need to be the ignorence police? Let them be stupid. Or at least point out your disagreement in a nice and constructive way. I post my opinions on here all the time and disagree with people on a daily basis, but none of my posts ever lead to crap like this one got into (untill now probably).

Sorry for the rant. I just don't understand the point of letting a thread discussion get so ugly. It's funny how we feel the need to say things to people online that we would never (for the most part) say in person. And before you go and say that you would say all the stuff you say on-line to peoples faces, stop and think about what kind of person that makes you. I guess if you are still ok with that, more power to you.
