Battlefield 6 has several core modes that players know well.
Conquest
Rush
Breakthrough
But Escalation plays very differently for me. In this video, I'm bringing an honest self deprecating approach to my seriously lacking skill level in the mode and see if there's anything I can do about it.
From shrinking objective areas to shifting AOEs and aggressive player encounters, Escalation provides an a constantly evolving chaotic mess for a casual player like myself.
So, I'm walking through the mechanics of Escalation, explaining how territory control works, and highlighting the challenges I face when stepping into a more competitive environment.
Instead of avoiding the mode, I'm taking the opposite approach of documenting a personal progression as I learn to improve, adapt strategies, and survive the fuckery.
If you're struggling with Escalation in Battlefield 6, or any mode or area in the game, this video explores that to bring about a learning experience mixed with poking fun at myself to get better with squad play, gadget usage, class balance, and map awareness.
It’s the start of a progression series focused on improving in the game’s toughest modes while keeping the focus on what matters most...having fun.

Awareness Spotlight of the Month:
For March, I’m highlighting National Montford Point Marine Association, Incs.
Check them out, share the link, or support in any way you can. National Montford Point Marine Association, Inc is a nonprofit Veterans Service Organization initially established in 1965.
Their mission is to perpetuate the legacy of the first African Americans who entered the United States Marine Corps from the period of 1942 to 1949, and trained at the segregated training facility, Montford Point Camp, New River, North Carolina.
Please take a moment to check them out montfordpointmarines.org and see if you'd like to support their cause.
Hooah!
