H-Hour: World's Elite Patch Release 3.6.0

Servers are offline while we update them with our latest patch.

As explained in our previous patch notes, Stats and Achievements have been reset so they reflect the latest changes in our ranking formula. Everyone will start fresh on day 1 of this new day for H-Hour.

We will be closely monitoring the game over the coming week to see if further bugs are identified.
