While I'm well aware that finished games often rest atop a mountain of cut or heavily revised work, I'm still regularly surprised by how extensively projects can change over the course of their development. A striking example was recently provided by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, who revealed that Master Chief's suit design was revised nine times before Bungie settled on his final look.
Lehto, who is an alumnus of Ohio's Kent State University, was speaking to Kent State Magazine (via GamesRadar) about the impact his education had on his future career. During that interview, he chatted about the process Bungie went through to design Master Chief's armour.
