DO NOT PLAY WINTER OFFENSIVE if....
If you had stutter and the latest patch fixed it DO NOT PLAY WINTER OFFENSIVE!!
It will reintroduce that stutter after you start to freeze and it will become permanent again AND across all maps.
This seems to be an issue with how the freezing mechanics work in winter offensive and its bleeding into all game play.
I played 2 games this morning. One on Sobek and one on Cairo. The game played smoothly almost as good as it was before Winter Offensive.
I then played a game of conquest on Winter Offensive and after my first freeze kicked in I started to stutter. It stayed even after warming up again. It seems that whatever mechanic happens during the freeze it somehow becomes permanent.
I exited out of that game and loaded a round of Cairo and the stutter was back. Its almost like its carrying over from the freeze in Winter Offensive.
The first minute or two of Winter Offensive played smoothly until I started to freeze. Then the stutter became permanent across all the other maps I played too.
Again, if this latest patch worked for you DO NOT play a match on Winter Offensive. It will reintroduce the stutter across all maps.
