As the story goes, way back in May of this year, this mysterious (and adorable) Superintendent artwork has been making appearances on Bungie posts, has been seen on employees' tshirts, has been spotted on the Bungie.net forums, has appeared on the Bungie webcam and has even been seen in the latest Cold Storage ViDoc with text reading "KEEP CLEAN". What does this all mean? Does this really have to do with Bungie's next secret project? If so, will it be a janitor sim? Will the Superintendent character grace Monday's free Bungie Day gamer picture pack? Why is the Superintendent giving us a thumbs up while holding a plunger? We have no idea, but hopefully next week's celebration of Bungie Day will make things more clear. In the meantime, take the jump to look over the timeline of Bungie's Superintendent shenanigans and see if you can put the puzzle pieces together. You know, Da Vinci Code style.

no offense but id edit this becasue it has nothing to do with a project. in there you said it started appearing in may, guess who left bungie in may. (frankie). ive heard many rumors before but this one takes the cake. the superintendent's name on bungie.net is IIIIIII, thats 7 individual (i)'s. he only posts on bungie.net saying his motto, KEEP IT CLEAN or he says REPORT VIOLATORS. this is just a stupid conspiracy theory.

Ok so this is how I think about it. Yes there is a possibility that this could hint at the next bungie game but it could also just be some "save the environment" thing. It could just be some inside thing that a Bungie employee started to clean the environment up...
That being said I am probably wrong. My other geuss is that it is a very small part of there next game. An I icon sort of like the cube in Portal.
I'm going to go make a post on my blog discussing the possibilities of this image in a little more detail on my blog... www.iamtalbot.com

Never mind about the whole "environment thing". I think it has to do with the behavior on xbox live.

Oh I hope it has to do with zombies (Hell's Janitor).

Didn't Nintendo say they could have made a Halo but decided not too? Essentially dissing bungie? This may be a arcade title with a plumber as bungie might be making a italian plumber game (ie Mario)?

Was that a joke when lukems said that they were a multi-project studio now? Does this mean we're getting a new Halo and something else?

they have already said that there won't be another halo. I would just say wait for E3 for confirmation that it is something worth noting.

I meant the rumored Helljumper game and not necessarily Halo 4.

Actually I believe Bungie have already said they are working on the Peter Jackson Halo project with Microsoft, their own Halo game and a non-Halo game.
I'll try find the source but they said this late last year xD
