Wolfenstein 1.2 patch released on consoles, PC

Wolfenstein 1.2 patch released on consoles, PC

Wolfenstein gets its second update today with the version 1.2 patch, following October's 1.11.

This one is for both consoles and PC; the latter you can grab now, the former should also be available, if not immediately then very shortly.

The update fixes a variety of bugs, improves online play, and tinkers with the balancing a bit; console players get a few extra fixes.
