Did Battlefield players stop caring about winning... or has modern multiplayer gaming simply changed what "winning" means?
After hundreds of hours in Battlefield 6, one pattern keeps repeating itself.
- Tanks farming kills instead of supporting pushes.
- Support players running past revives.
- Squads ignoring objectives while chasing gunfights.
The more I watched, the more I started asking whether Battlefield has a teamwork problem... or whether modern live-service game design has quietly taught some players to value personal progression over team victory.
In this video, I'm putting one idea on trial, so to speak:
Have progression systems become more important than winning the match?
We'll look at Battlefield 6, progression systems, objective play, PTFO, weapon unlocks, Battle Passes, K/D culture, and how modern multiplayer design may be changing the way we approach team-based shooters.
This isn't a rant about "kids these days."
It's an attempt to understand why Battlefield feels different than it used to... and whether the change comes from the players, the game, or the systems surrounding both.

Welcome to the show! We're here to discuss video games & we're here for the enjoyment of it.
This channel is for adults who actually play games — not for pros, not for grinders.
We primarily cover Battlefield, but we slip in discussions of The Division, Tarkov, Gray Zone & whatever else is worth our time.
Slapping on some gear, picking up the weapons, looting or shooting, playing the objective.
Current content schedule as follows:
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays, we cover Battlefield 6.
Topics ranging from how we play the game, weirdness we see in the games or what's being discussed in the great community.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy the content.
