"or whatever month it is , could be june" nailed it, subscriber for life
That’s the cheapest looking $2000 marker I’ve ever seen.
It’s virtue, there are the kings of overpriced parts
All metal or hell no. Can’t spend 2k for plastic
Or high quality magnesium which is metal basically
you do realize the plastic they use is even stronger and more expensive than the metal on the gun itself. I would recommend you do the research. All though it doesn't really matter at this point, the tm40 is out so mehh.
It’s foolish to think that some people think if you buy these high end guns it will make you a better paintball player but in reality it’s not about the paintball marker it’s about the player and how sneaky you can be
in speedball it requires skill to be good. also a good gun
Basically a modernized Angel Intellifeed System! Pretty cool but I’m definitely not digging the plastic parts.
right, which was from like 2001 and had a little bit of value for the agitators. Later the junky Draxxus Pulse used a radio connection but it offered no benefits at that point, and it was literally 15 years ago!
@@ydna Virtue did it as well if I recall.
Yeah also 7th Element. Empire did it in the Magna-Halo and Prophecy, and even sued Draxxus since they "stole" the idea and beat everyone to market (and it was legit stolen along with many parts of the Pulse), but it was even more sad since the sync feature turned out to be worthless. All that was 2007!!!
How has the gold paint on the hopper held up?
This gun is like a lambo both have the world's most expensive plastic
Looking to buy one for 300. Anyone have opinion worth it or not
Its really nice to see you again Brad. Love you man.
Been shooting an ace since they came out. No issues.
Like he said "i dont get the point of this" im still useing the OG empire halo hopper which is like 10 years old at this point and it still can feed to bps cap and has literally never broken a paintball so what is the point of upgrading unless i wanted something lighter
That's why I still use a vmax + whenever I play with a hopper. Aside from battery options and weight, there's no reason to spend $150+ on a hopper that wont perform any better
still rocking my V35 Halo 🤙
How many shells have you had to replace?
Awesome video as usual.
One thing I want to say to all the commentators - yeah I know "plastic" feels cheap and I prefer all aluminum (particularly for anything with threads), but experience with non-paintball products has shown that composite parts can be as durable as metal while saving weight.
I'm a longtime knife collector, outdoorsman, and have dabbled in knife making/restoring. I've beat the snot out of quite a few folders with composite handles (including folders that lack steel liners) and have yet to see any failures in the composite. Spyderco of the best production knife brands and on some of their new versions (like the new paramilitary) the steel handle liners have been deleted. I haven't experienced or heard of an increased failure rate.
It really all depends on the type of composite and how it is used.
I don’t doubt the composite they used is high quality, GRN and other modern composite plastics can actually be stronger than aluminum but holy shit the spire looks bad. Next to the gold colored aluminum it’s hideous. Should’ve gone for a matte yellow gold for both or somethin else, this is just so ugly
I'm digging the background music 🎶
I'm on a luxe sponsored team but currently shoot the cs2 pro and love it, however eventually I have to go to luxe 🤕. They turn off in my hand because I grip them so hard and now I just use a cs2 lol, wished they'd make the luxe more sturdy for death grippers like myself 🤣
I have the same problem with my ace. Nothing like pulling your gun off the start expecting to lane out a dorito to find out you turned your marker off.
Anyone else find it ironic that this super premium version of the Lux looks like cheap plastic trash from the 90s?
Can we get paintball questions time back? I want to know does an incorrect bore decision make shots in accurate?
@@___meph___4547 that makes since thanks.
When I saw one In person it looks even worse the hopper is cool it’s all gold the gun is cool it’s all gold but together it’s terrible at least make it match
It looks like something you’d buy at Spencer’s.
Yup
Separate they’re not awful but the hopper is so painfully plastic it looks horrendous on top of the nice gold anodized aluminum. The old “gold” halos would be better
Sorry I’m late but I’m hear now glad to see your back brad great vid
Nice video... Maybe it's a first look? Uh, new insights? Not sure what to call it.
It's got a flashy cool factor. Programming my CS2 via bluetooth is way more convenient than I expected. The wireless pairing to a spire 4 def has a, "why bother?" feel to it.
I cannot wait until my cs2 pro and android finally work together
@@reedwetzel1324 Android is a pain in the nards from a dev perspective. Here's hoping.
Miss you brad I reached out to planet eclipse & asked them to sponsor your videos LOL worth a shot right
How’s it going Brad? Hope you’re well! Missing your content!
I thought you had a bad experience based on Twitter
I wonder how much the Bluetooth hits the batteries. It's gotta be some extra load.
I believe the point of the link is roughly this, in theory. Spires are compartively slow reacting hoppers. They take a long time from ball fired to ball fully loaded, hence why they barely work on a CVO. The way to fix this was the BLE link. Board can signal the solenoid to fire the marker and signal the spire to get moving. That way you drastically improve the loading delay. Based on what Ive seen with teammates spire 3s they take about 50 ms. This new linked system probably halves that. Now of course at 10.5 bps you wont be able to tell the difference but if it were implemented for cockers or CVOs then it could be a viable loader for mech 10man.
What Your opinion On the new jt proflex vs the old ones
Hi I love the videos
Great video.. That is hideous, looks cheezy
“Enjoy October. Or it could be June...” 😂😂
“It’s basically a luxe x so it’s reliable” 😂😂😂😂 said no one ever
Virtue Ace: fit and finish is a big chunk of perceived quality, and I think they really missed the mark at that price point.
Cool video!
I've seen gold spray paintjobs that look better than that spire. Looks terrible imo
Plastic parts and old technology, awesome review but product is a waste
Great content 👍. You have so much experience and knowledge to share, what’s your opinion on .68 caliber paintball guns shooting pepper balls. Can you do some content on that. I know my wife wouldn’t hesitate to shoot a pepper ball at an aggressive animal while dog walking or jogging. Or a salvo of pepper balls at an uninvited guest(s) coming up the driveway. Instead of a bullet. Give them one chance at least. Thanks !
YAYYYY BRAD DO BE POSTING THO
Where can I find that hopper ?
The gold one
So it's wireless WDP Intellifeed? ;)
Keep on keeping on Brad!
What about the IG story you posted with this thing ripped apart at the field? What was wrong with it? That seems worth mentioning.
Nice very cool!!
Missed you Brad!
No too many surprises with the ACE. I thought they could do something better with the low paint indicator or something a bit more innovative.
The video looks crispy clean tho 🧼
I think the Dye M3+ is better
How can we get you a Torque for a video?
That....looks.....hideous
Were you camping in OR over the summer? Thought I recognized you outside Crater Lake but didn't want to be weird if it was not you lol.
