The Hero Games Zombie Apocalypse map is a player-versus-player scenario map. The heroes stand against an unending army of (NPC) zombies and one former hero, a player whose character has been "zombified". This is a purely cosmetic change--zombie heroes keep all of their super-powers. When a hero falls to the zombie hero or the NPC horde, they rise again as one of the undead. When the map begins, the lone zombie player must use hit-and-run tactics, trying to swoop in and defeat a hero who has been wounded by the NPCs; their only real advantage is that death is final for the heroes, but a zombie simply respawns to rejoin the fight. As more heroes become zombies, the balance between the teams shifts until the map reaches a tipping point and the heroes are outnumbered by their fallen comrades. The heroes are forced to break and run, which lets the zombie team hunt them as a group. The end usually comes quickly.

Interesting Trivia: ZombApoc is without a doubt our oldest PvP map. If the fossil record is to be believed, it was originally designed over a year ago (by some other fine person). It's spent the last year slipping on to and off of the list of maps we could cram in for launch. Since beta, players have been asking for more scenario PvP games, so it was a no-brainer to release our zombie scenario map during Blood Moon.
