All King of the Kill servers will be coming down tomorrow (5/20) at 3:00AM Pacific for approximately 4 hours. 

Patch notes:

Ignition is now live!  It’s pretty intense, so we’ve turned on the skirmish servers for when you need a break from the action.

New Game Mode: Ignition
Ignition is a high-intensity, frenzied game mode where the clock is always ticking. Players are outfitted with an explosive device that's set to blow unless they gear up fast, jump on their ATV, and gun it to the safe zone. Every second matters in this turbo-charged battle to the death as players race from safe zone to safe zone before their time runs out.

New Ignition Features:

• Players are lowered into battle from a Helicopter on an ATV
• Helicopters will hover over safe zones and mark them with green lights
