I knew this was coming based on the types of hires theyve been making and talks of "flightings" but:
Not everything needs to have dialog trees, skill trees, and weapon upgrades.

In theory it could simply be a more in depth version of what Titanfall 2 did yeah?
That popped out to me too, Halo Infinite is going to be amazing. I can't wait till we get to see it.
What did Titanfall do that was distinct enough not to call it rpgish?
RPG's are the best genre of video games, so I'm very down with this. I hope they make it open world also.

I hope Halo Infinite will be a prestige title like BOTW and God of War. Xbox hasn't had one of those in a while.
Meaningful decisions please! Like branching paths that differ in enemy types (eg. if MC blows up a production base, no more high level units are produced for later levels) or even stages and cutscenes.
I'm fine with that, the Halo story hasn't captivated me since the first trilogy. I think a more personal focus would help a lot and help Halo move toward the future.
You'll get MCC on Switch first and like it!
No really though we need MCC on PC
Why would anyone on Earth want a Halo game to have RPG elements.
The last thing Halo needs is adding on more pointless things like XP, upgrades, inventory management...

Titanfall had you pick Cooper's dialogue on the fly but it only really impacted your relationship with BT.
The days of pure, intuitive, pick-up-and-play arcade style game design are pretty much over unfortunately.

If they want to add RPG elements, I'd much rather they explore that in a spin-off.
EDIT
I could get behind some reactive stuff like this. But I don't really want gear, loot, etc stuff in a mainline Halo.

HUH?
Where did you get the conclusion that RPG elements equals "loot shooter"?

There you have it, the Mass Effect like Halo RPG youve been waiting for.

I play more RPGs than shooters and I still get that sentiment. RPG mechanics translates into slower paced gameplay.
Also Halo has been a huge franchise on the back of its core shooting mechanics. It already has a large audience so it doesn't need to start alienating the old guard if it can avoid doing so while adding new ideas.
