According to Job Listings Halo 6 may have RPG Elements.

I know people knock games with light RPG elements and how it's a trendy thing to add to every game but I'll be damned if I don't always enjoy them.
Yeah I am not surprised.
I won't even be surprised if there was a mini stealth section which plays like prey or colonial Marines stealth (short, no disrespect intended)

I'm not surprised. If you look at Halo 5's campaign with the world hubs. It certainly seems like they wanted to do something RPG like with quests and towns, but it seems like a huge swath of things got cut, as things tend to do in game development. No one can know, but it seems like they ended up deciding to go back to a more traditional campaign for 5 and maybe they are putting those things back into 6. I hope the multiplayer still feels somewhat similar to 5 though. It is still hands down my favorite console multiplayer FPS.
Familiarity with RPG and shooter mechanics in the listing. Mostly just me kind of wanting it.
I think what they're trying to do is to improve and to upgrade the existing mechanics; and I'm OK with that. If they repeat themselves or simply copy and paste mechanics from prior games, a big part of the community will destroy the game for lack of innovation. They are adapting to times, as they should. Let's just hope that it all pays off by the time the game comes out---which is far from anytime soon.
This is exactly what I expect with the multi. Create your own ODST and power up through missions and raids.
Single player stays classic.
If you want to prolong playing time you either do RPG elements (levels/skilltrees/loot/grinding) or variations of a versus mode. Halo already had one and being an AAA game in 2020(?), it sounds reasonable it might try to succeed with the other as well. That's how the AAA live service model works.
Hope it isn't true though.

A survival RPG where the player character rebuilds the Master Chief's armor over a series of quests by finding and fixing individual pieces of the legendary Mark VI scattered across a vast, open world to become the new Master Chief.
I'll with-hold judgement, I'm excited for the next Halo right now and this doesn't dissuade anything, love seeing a developer try some new things, but I will say that I thought Doom proved that sometimes just going old-school works if it's executed well. I'd like to see Halo have a Doom 2016 moment and just blow everyone away.
Not that I've lost interest in previous Halo campaigns, but I too am ready for something radically different should they choose to go another route. Multiplayer is where they need to remain conservative with its core traditional design, unless they create separate modes to mess around with like Warzone.
