Maybe so, but this is also proof that rank means nothing when it comes to skill. If you base unlocks on rank you will get people who find work-arounds. If you base them on accomplishments you get people will will actually have to achieve something besides play time. There will always be bots and hacks, but something creative could make it harder to engineer them.
Really it would be nice to see rank as a sign of experience and for skill to be rewarded by other visible means. I liked the idea IW did with the console version of COD4 where you could start over several times but recieved a special note saying that you did so.
