right off the front page of z8....

The Cross Fire Servers will be down for approximately 4-5 hours tonight, May 27th at 2:00am EST for maintenance and to update the game.

You can do this by automatically attempting to connect to the live servers after the servers are back online, or by using our downloads page to get the latest version of the game.
