Save that stuff for camo and outfit unlocks--and maybe even vanity title unlocks that you can place over your name, as have been included in other games over the years. But like one previous poster said, I hate it when a game forces me to change the way I want to play it.
With all of its flaws, I think CoD has the best system for all of that. If you want to master a certain rifle, for example, you can do that--and get player cards, camos and badges for ranking it up. If you want to master a certain class, you can do that too, with number of kills, headshots, ADS kills, melee kills, etc., and they have the unlocks for those, too.
Making challenge completion a requirement for ranking is going to cause a ton of frustration for the non-try hard, casual players who just want to play for fun. Not everyone wants to take the game that seriously. At the end of the day, if it isn't fun, you don't play it--and the suggested ranking system mentioned in the OP would make it a lot less fun for a huge chunk of players.
@ChugKendallI think that BFV showed us that assignments are affecting the game in bad ways.
In BFV, a lot of people wasted a lot of time doing assignments (for gold skins), instead of helping the team.
BF4 had the same system, but all assignments tracked all the time, and most of them just "happened" by playing the game.
Ranking up should not involve any assignments other than XP and unlocking weapons should happen just by playing the game (getting kills).
Any assignment for skins should be "easily" obtained, "doing things in a round", is the worst offender. People waste hours trying to complete these things.
BF2 had gated ranks but the assignment tracked all the time, but they are to get in the lower ranks.
The first tough one is First Sergeant
Total Score: 20,000 points
Badges:
You also had plenty of other task for medal(general things), ribbons and badges(combat roles).
Yes, sometime people played for like the purple heart 🙂, but overall it did not slow down play. Assignments require single weapon, location and position. Using Weapon X while prone inside a flag get 5 headshots, if everyone has to do something like that of cause play is going to slow down.
Colonel level:
Like knifing an enemy pilot out of his helicopter! :o)

@730zLBGORILAI know that, assignments in BFV mostly unlocked skins for guns. But the assignment-system still made people play 'complicated' assignments, instead of PTFO.
No matter what you put behind assignments, people wants to unlock them (they are in the game). Rank would be the worst stat to put behind assignments (IMHO).
The assignments should happen 'naturally' when playing the game as intended, by killing enemies, capping flags, healing, resupplying etc (things that help the team), not having 'non-productive' tasks which will diverts peoples attention from PTFOing (like killing x number of people in objective areas in a round).
They should bring back the ribbon/medal system from BF4 instead of making more assignments.
