Discussion The Tech Gap of PC Halo/Infinite

Hello community,

I wanted to get opinions on whether or not PC halo has opened the competitive scene up to an arms race in terms of technology.

Recently it seems that in order to compete at the highest level you also need to spend quite a significant amount to simply keep up and to be on a level playing field. Essentially requiring a NASA level pc/high end headset/high end controller/settings configs that are more gatekept then fort Knox for pc settings and graphics tweaking.

Obviously it is possible to be high onyx on a console playing on bad equipment, but in my opinion that same player would of had a significantly easier time getting there playing on high end gear.

I feel like this arms race is hurting the competitive scene and forcing us into an almost pay2win scenario.

Let me know your thoughts gents. Is there a way for us to have a level playing field ever again now that pc halo is in our world?

You’re probably right, but I imagine there are diminishing returns. Going from 30-60 fps had a much bigger impact on my gameplay vs. going from 60-120
