Living Dead was a Halloween playlist sent out on October 31, 2007 at 12:01 AM until November 1st at 3:00 AM. It is also a Double EXP Weekend playlist from April 10th 2008 through April 13th 2008 and during the last weekend of August. This playlist featured the Infection game and new map variants. New games from Bungie were introduced such as "Creeping death", "Creeping rockets", and Save One Bullet. A similar playlist was also instituted more recently. The playlist returned on Halloween 2008, but unlike the previous version, it lasted for the duration of an entire weekend, until November 3rd. It has returned for Double EXP Weekend from time to time.

[edit] Trivia

  • Haunted Manor was the only map to be designed by someone other than Bungie to be made on the playlist.
  • The variant name of Last Resort, Zomzibar, is similar to the name Zanzibar. This is clever as Last Resort is a remake of the Halo 2 map Zanzibar.
  • On Thursday, April 23, 2009, Bungie seemed to have limited the party size of Living Dead to 1, and, being a social playlist, is the only recorded social playlist in Halo history to have a party limit of 1. Many claims that this is made because of the Zombie Achievements, and some claim that it was made to prevent boosting.
  • In some zombie games lag after being infected sometimes can cause the player to respawn as a zombie but be able to lunge and kill other zombies without betrayal penalty, allied zombies will still appear as yellow dots on the mini-map but in terms of weapons will be auto-locked as if an enemy.
