==Campaign Cutscene Stuttering==
 
===Micro-stuttering & audio-desync during cutscene playback in Campaign Mode===
 
As of launch there are severe and frequent stutters and audio de-syncing issues when viewing story cutscenes in the Campaign mode. This is suspected to be caused by the game loading a large amount of assets in the background and Infinity Ward are aware of the issue, promising to issue a hotfix soon.
