PC

In addition to the changes above, we've also made the following changes on PC in version

    • Players can now Prestige the Bowie Knife in Zombies.

The notes, as you can see, are a bit on the technical side, but in general, the Challenge and Zombies fixes should be quite helpful to a few players; and it looks like the PC performance should pick up a little bit.
