nope!
because the game isn´t about killing and oldschool mmorpg-mobgrinding!

missions will only be about capturing and disabling of certain base-parts.

like disable vehicle terminal, disable shield generator or whatever.

and maybe logistical missions like setup forward base at wp1 or resupply certain battlegroups. but we don´t know much about the logistics.

and there will be the countermissions. resecure command centre, resecure vehicle terminal, etc.
or hold base x at all costs

but i am sure the "kill 200 maxes with a tank" type stuff will be in the game as well. just not as missions, but as merits. like in planetside 1. you can get merits or trophys for certain actions. those merits have no influence on the game. no perks or whatever. in ps1 they gave small merits you could stick on your shoulders, and a few unlocked special vehicle variants, like the bfr flight variant for which you had to kill 1000(or so) enemys while piloting a standard bfr. but i don´t think the devs want to link merits to vehicles again.
and you don´t have to concentrate on those merits to do them. they just keep score and eventually you get the merit. in ps1 there were certain higher level merits that required a killstreak at the end. like kill 5 enemys with your pistol without respawning in between
