Yesterday we reported about a cancelled video game known as Mega Bloks Halo, a game similar to Lego Star Wars but with Halo and Mega Bloks... and it looked pretty fun. Usually when these things leaks, nothing happens, but this time the 343 Industries head honcho Bonnie Ross decided to comment on the game on Twitter: "Great feedback on project formerly known as Haggar. Always looking at new ideas. Keep feedback coming"

This was followed by a link to Halo Waypoint where she had a more fleshed out message:

"Over the past few days, footage has recently made the rounds of an exploratory Xbox 360 project we worked on several years ago, known as "Haggar." Since then, we've received a lot of great feedback from the community. Haggar was something we prototyped with our friends at Mega Bloks that focused on the elements of action, exploration and user creativity found within the Halo universe. Haggar had a lot of fun ideas and invention behind it, but ultimately didn't progress beyond the early prototyping levels that are shown in the recent video. This is just one example of several similar projects we have evaluated throughout the years - a process that we continue exploring on an ongoing basis."

If Mega Bloks Halo will ever be revived in some form remains to be seen, and we are of course interested about those other "several similar projects" she's writing about. As you might know, there once were plans for a Halo MMO as well, which was also scrapped. Would you prefer a Mega Bloks Halo or Halo MMO?
