They tried to be creative & instead destroyed the point of a skill tree. Limiting being able to upgrade by getting points only from missions is dumb. Thyey should have done the traditional xp system, as one of the screenshots has shown for Victory. They also should have made it more expansive. There was no feeling of significant progression, only slight upgrading.

They should look at games like Prototype 2 to see how to make a good skill tree. They could easily make three different trees; movement, stealth & combat. We could upgrade our running speed, stealth kill speed & sword swinging speed, if you want examples. It's not hard, as AC is suited to these kind of things. Ubi need to realise that there's no harm in the main character being crap at everything in the beginning as long as the enemies suit your abilities.
