Eggy vs Halo

[L J]

ok, got my trix etc, but i dont want to make it less efficient by changing the switches to slow it down so i dont chop with my z board eggy, just wanted peoples opinions on Halos...
weight doesnt matter, but im talkibg about balancing, ball capacity etc i like to refill when i have about 20/30 balls left...can i do this with a halo?

Both threads are huge and should give you all the info you need, just a case of weighing them both up and seeing which you like, better to try both and see which you like though

both of those didnt help, sorry, im looking for playability info, not technical info, i know that the halo is faster blah blah, im wanting to know how people find having one pot fill the entire hopper etc is like...

I went from using a Ricochet 2k to the HALO, and I have to tell ya, it really wasn't any adjustment. You can definitely refill with 20-30 balls left, even even 40. Weighs a ton, so does the egg, that's how it goes when you try to pack a frickin' jet engine into a hopper to feed the balls faster. As far as balance, I hate the egg with a passion because it sits too high, too far back, is too wide, and generally looks like ****e on my (and just about any) marker. My HALO is much better for balance on my angel, can't speak for all markers, AND the profile is more like the revvy/ricochet than like the lunar lander that is the egg. Either/or, I'd go for the HALO hands down.

I perfer halo i have broken several egg 2's

On a Matrix you should be able to set your BP longer and leave your FP alone. That would slow down the ROF without affecting efficiency.

As far as balance, on a Timmy or Matrix, I like the Evo better. I have had so many problems with broken shells and batteries dropping out that I don't use them often these days.

As far as the reloading before you're out part, I find Halos almost too small for that. It is my biggest gripe with Halos, actually.

in my personal opinion halos are better

they have a smaller profile. there is less of the hopper right in front of your face. they are faster.

i suppose it really depends on personal feelings

guess i best find someone with one and ask to borrow it for a few games then, thanks for the help guys

i swore by a halo till i had a bad burst in one....you aint getting it cleaned out in a rush!
weight isnt a prob they sit nice on top of even a super light marker like mine
they are certainly fast enough
when filling up i did tend to always loose a few in the pot rather than risk completely emptying my hopper

best bet is to try one out

im swapping to an egg mainly due to the cleaning of a halo being a bugger, although i am toying with the idea of a warp...but that will only get expencive as ill end up getting a warp body made!

dude

i cleaned a halo the other day...... oh man it was complicated! i was actually really chuffed that i managed to put it back together its just crap that if you wanna clean the feedneck and tray, you have to take EVERYTHING apart!
Eggies- the way they sit really annoys me - too far back, but they are easy to clean.
