I have the same issue;
The game freezes for a little bit, and normally comes back fairly quickly. This isn't a 'once in 15 minutes' thing, rather a 'every other minute or so' thing. Later I noticed that when this happens, the Ubisoft notification in the top right corner tells me my Xbox Elite S2 controller was disconnected, and it will reconnect fairly quickly as the game continues. A few times it didn't reconnect at all and wouldn't reconnect manually either, while the game was running. When the game is closed the controller can be manually reconnected again.
The prologue was as good as unplayable with this issue, and I haven't progressed any further.
The controller is new (purchased new about three weeks ago) and has shown zero issues in any other title, at all.
@gagey2011 I haven't tried the workaround @dcGColts mentioned yet, but it works fine if you wire the controller up.
It's far from ideal, but it's better than KBM.
