While the challenges are simple enough, what could be a big problem are the 25 kills with the Mortar, which means you'll play a lot of games where Premium players are "farming" for these Assignments and will not play the objective at all. Ah, well, that's the price you have to pay for new weapon camos, I guess.
Also of note, the UMP-45 Specialist Assignment might mean that more Recon players will be using the gun to attack instead of, y'know, just sitting at the back of the base and sniping like he's playing Silent Scope or something.
Will you be gunning for these Assignments or are weapon camos not enough of a reward?
