''Infinite'' has been described as being a "platform" for the ''Halo'' franchise for at least the next decade. It is intended that the game be added to over time, rather than utilizing the previous system of numbered titles. However, the game will not be a live service one; it has been likened as being more akin to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' in this regard.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-infinite-is-a-platform-for-the-next-ten-years/1100-6480039/|Site=GameSpot|Page=Halo Infinite Is A Platform For The Next Ten Years Of Halo|D=28|M=3|Y=2021}} The gameplay is inspired by the original trilogy, especially ''Halo 3'', along with the gameplay from ''Halo: Reach'' and the [[Reclaimer Saga]], with a focus on the use of [[Equipment]] rather than [[Armor abilities]].{{Ref/Reuse|InsideJanuary}} Unlike the original trilogy, however, the player has the [[Sprint]] ability as well as the [[Spartan abilities#Slide|Slide]] ability from ''Halo 5: Guardians''.{{Ref/Reuse|HIcampaign}} Like ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', ''Halo Infinite'' will not feature playable Sangheili in multiplayer or [[dual wielding]] at launch.{{Ref/Reuse|Ask343Zeta}} | |||

The game will have dynamic day/night cycles. Enemies will sometimes act differently per the time of day (e.g. Unggoy sleeping at night). Some weather elements will also feature, such as wind, and fog coming in at different altitudes. Rain and snowstorms won't feature at launch, but may be added in the future.{{Ref/Reuse|Ask343Zeta}} | |||
