It's finally here! Almost 90 minutes of talk with the absolute Halo legend Marcus Lehto - the co-creator of the entire Halo franchise and father of the Master Chief himself! Would he ever consider returning to Halo? What are his thoughts on Halo 4? On Halo 5? ON HALO INFINITE? What were Bungie's plans for their version of Halo 4? What were the inspirations behind Halo? Behind the iconic Mk.V armor? What work did he do on Destiny? All of this and much, MUCH more!
