It seems that Master Chief almost ended up blasting Covenant made of Mega Bloks. After showing the Diddy Kong racing sequel that never was and a scrapped sequel to Oni, archivist Andrew Borman is now reporting on the prototype for Mega Bloks Halo in a new video on his YouTube channel.
Borman reports that the prototype, codenamed ‘Haggar’, was developed by nSpace. Players could run around to fight Covenant, drive customisable vehicles, and use bloks to build turrets and other pieces of the environment. The project would have also featured a co-op mode and a siege mode.
The full development history of the project is unclear given its highly confidential nature but Borman speculates that the 360 title was abandoned as Microsoft made plans for the launch of the Xbox One. You can learn more by watching the video above.

Such a shame this never got released. Definitely would’ve bought it. If it had sold well we could’ve had Mega Bloks: Skylanders, Spongebob Squarepants and even World Of Warcraft.
You never know, if enough people show Microsoft and Mega Bloks that they really want this they just might get another developer to continue with it.
I would rather Kre-O got into the game making business though. Game versions of Kre-O: Transformers or Kre-O: Star Trek, yes please.
Damn this looks like a lot of fun. I would have loved to have gotten this, and Microsoft would have had gotten Mega Bloks ‘Gears of War’ and ‘Destiny’ to go along with it too
Hopefully Microsoft will put Rare on it after they’ve finished Sea Of Thieves.
I’d rather have Rare working on a 3rd person, single player, Splinter Cell / Parasite Eve style, Perfect Dark reboot.
