They tried the pulse, which had features that were, tbh, useless, and it was heavy as. Other than that, I've thought they have only done GI versions of existing loaders. Is there a new one coming out in the rumour mill?
The Pulse, The RDR to name two er....unique loaders! The pulse was good in a querky way.

If you read the packages, it doesn't say you have to use the Empire loader, only buy one :)

Interesting... not sure how that will work though. "Buy our loader... but we don't expect you to use it or advertise it"

They will probably take the prophecy and do some form of GI Work to it to bring a new loader half way, or at the end of next season...

The front section of the original Prophecies included part of the feedneck, so assuming it was clamped into the gun it wouldn't come off.

Never understood why they messed that up with the Z2, unless they were going for comedy value.

Ive used a z2 for a few years, this has never ever even looked like happening. I have also seen pictures of rotors falling apart in game. Its all USER ERROR. My Z2 works flawlessly.

I thought I heard a story of someone getting shot in the side or top of an R2 and the whole thing disintergrated into its composite parts...

That being said, I have never seen a spire go wrong, except when you have too fragile paint. (even seen a 10second mid game fullstrip and clean). Not much to go wrong there.

See, I've never even managed to get a Prophecy or a Z2 to even feed paint without screwing something up. The LTD Prophecy I had for around 6 months. In that time, it never lasted a match without failing or alternatively didn't work at all. Plus, it was the most fiddly thing going. The Z2, whilst slightly improved, is still fiddly as hell and has a lot of problems feeding. Battery life is also horrific. Looks good though.

Thing is - the Z2 should be an excellent loader. It just needs more work doing to the shell system.

First world problems, The battery door fell off my Halo once on the breakout, battery pack flew out and I got eliminated before I even reached my primary :cry::cry:

I have seen plenty of Z2 fronts fly off, Rotors and even Spires self destruct in dives, it was quite common at one point to see Rotors to do a 180 in the feed neck on breakouts. Most are down to user error.
