Bad weekly challenges?

Has any else noticed how bad these weekly challenges are?  In the past games it usually would push you to try different playstyles, but you could usually do them in whatever game mode you enjoyed ( I know occasionally it required a specific mode like Rush, but not often and not a lot of that mode ).  This is just shoving you in to all the new RedSec modes that I am not only not interested in, but strongly dislike.  I went from absolutely loving this game, to dreading turning it on just a day later.  I played for an hour and a half last night, barely made progress on the challenges and never played a minute of a mode I wanted.  I had zero enjoyment and very little progress.

I personally think it is unacceptable to force game modes on players in the weeklies.  What happens to the new RedSec, free-to-play players when Conquest is a weekly?  They just can't complete it?  Or will it only ever require RedSec modes and screw over the veteran BF player base?  They knew this would bother people because they added the "rerolls" for those weekly challenges, but there's a limit of 5 on them.  Do you get more the next week?  Do you have to buy more?

I never missed a single weekly in BF2042 for probably close to 2 years.  I enjoyed it, even if I was frustrated sometimes.  I could knock them out in a night usually and then just get back to playing normally.  Maybe I got particularly bad challenges this week, but doing the math, I'd have to spend my entire playtime for the week in RedSec modes to complete these challenges and progress the pass.  I'd rather either just not engage in the battle pass or find a different game to play altogether.  I really like unlocking things and feeling like I'm making progress on something while I'm playing a game, but when I know I'm not really making progress, or I'm hating playing, it feels pretty bad.

Does anyone else feel this way, or is that just me?

For reference, my weekly missions I'm complaining about are:
- Capture Zones in Gauntlet: Deadlock (0/1)
- Complete Headhunter mission in Battle Royal (0/5)
- Loot superior items in Battle Royal (0/1)
- Win matches in Strikepoint (0/3)
- Complete matches in Gauntlet (0/5)

If I do enough of that garbage, I earn the right to do my "Bonus":
- Complete missions in Battle Royale (0/15)

There are also a few weapon/playstyle ones which I'm fine with.  No complaints there. 

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man (39 years old).  I have absolutely no problem with BF having a Battle Royale, or a knockout "Fall Guys" style mode, or a Counter Strike rip-off mode of Strikepoint.  I have played all of those games.  I hope those modes do well too, but I if I wanted those I'd just go play those games.  I come to Battlefield for Conquest and Breakthrough that nobody else does as well as BF.

 TLDR: Please don't make me spend my entire week playing modes I don't want to be in, or else have to completely give up on caring about progress in this game.  I'd like to buy a battle pass every season, and you guys probably want my money, but I certainly won't do it again if this is what the weekly challenges are like.

    I like BF for the variety. I play a mix of large and small map game modes, objective modes the lot. Overall I am not very impressed with Redsec. The gauntlet mode is OK, but again, nothing to get too excited about. 

    I'm very disappointed, like you, that more that half of my challenges were for the new BR type modes that I don't really want to play... I think they will turn players away if they're forcing them into specific modes etc

    And to add to the disappointment, there's a bug where if you have a challenge tracked, you can't reroll it, but if you try, it will still cost you a reroll token... (yet ANOTHER bug with tracked challenges.. )

    On 'the other game' when they've had seasonal events etc, they've often had challenges you can progress by either playing MP, Zombies or WZ. I think this is a much better system.
