Pretty easy response here. Battlefield is a game about DEFENDING and ATTACKING objectives. It is not a game about just kill kill kill everything you see. Granted, there are some game modes for that, but they're the minority.
Now here's the crazy part. Players who are defending are doing exactly what you're complaining about as camping. "This stupid player just sits in the corner and shoots me! I wish he would just walk out of his cover into my crosshairs so I could shoot him!"
BF4 had... vaulting? It had... ehh, bunny hopping? What advanced movement are you talking about here? High mobility? Most speeds in BF4 would be laughably slow in BF6, excluding the ATV and Dirtbike speeds.
I never understand BF players who complain about camping. If you want CoD, go play CoD. CoD doesn't like camping either. A core mechanic of BF is camping. It's how you defend objectives. BF is a game about objectives.

I think the confusion between camping and defending is one that irks me the most. I can’t help but get offended when someone calls me a camper in the chat because I’m actively defending.
And it really gives the wrong impression to new players: don’t stay in one spot, attack, attack, attack or you’re a bad player. How many games have I seen lost because in the late stages, people decided to go on the offensive when they already held a majority of objs?

You're mixing up defending with camping.
Real defending is dynamic: you capture and secure an objective first, then maintain map control by checking flanks and holding active angles. Crouching in a dark corner, ignoring objective flow, and waiting for free kills isn't "defending"—it’s just camping, using "team play" as a convenient cop-out for a passive playstyle.
As for BF4, there's movement tech that players used to break static setups. It wasn't about raw sprint speed; it gave aggressive players tools to counter campers.
And honestly, spamming 'Go play COD' is just discouraging and completely nonsensical.
