Who and what is ling ling?

So I was looking at forums and found one about somebody wanting a clear picture of ling ling. So I googled it… WHAT TEH HECK IS DAT!

It was a name option for the loadouts in Halo Reach, luckily I was playing that today. I’m assuming Ling Ling is a Spartan III, as the name is among other known Spartans.

Its the head of an dog in an Jar that went missing.
The missing sign can be seen on Halo2s multiplayermap Zanzibar.

An old Bungie meme.

It’s a sad day when youngsters these days don’t even know about Ling Ling.

To be fair, you had to be a regular on Bungie.net or HBO like I was back in the day to be acquainted with her. Even then, she was only ever spoken of in hushed tones, echoes of Chinese whispers along dark, decrepit corridors…

That’s from Reach right? Sad to say but by that time I wasn’t a regular on Bungie.net. The fact that I was in the middle of my military service didn’t help as well lol.

But to you, I shall say: “Can i haz Recon?”.

I just searched it up and that is some messed up stuff! I mean, seriously…

A dog’s head that is kept inside a fluid-filled jar? What the actual ****.

Ah well one the shoulder pieces for Kat looked like a face so a fan created some fanart of it and named the character Oonsk. Bungie, and later 343i when they took over, used it a bit. Profile pics, art of Oonsk and Mister Chief, and a few other things. It became an unofficial mascot of Reach.

And, yez you can haz recons.

Aka just after the transition from Bungie to 343.
Ling Ling is the greatest and creepiest thing I know of. And it truly is sad that these youngsters don’t know who Ling Ling was. Check it.

Acquiring Ling Ling’s head is part 5 of Bungie’s 7 step plan to world domination. Check it.

Well then…you should’ve been present on the forums. And it might’ve even been to late then.
