Total Attrition Game Mode (Idea)
Total Attrition is a game mode Idea that is supposed to bring that grounded, gritty feeling to the more Milsim players of Battlefield 6. Not to say that Battlefield 6 isn't grounded at all, but considering these changes, the game can feel like an entirely different, visceral experience.
Here is a list of Five Idea Categories that can make Battlefield 6 a True War Experience.

• Limited Vehicle Defenses/Specials When In need (ie. Smokes are Limited, ADS Isn't)

True War Gameplay (Operations + Escalation)
The main gameplay of the Total Attrition gamemode is to slowly advance through sectors and maps, while maintaining that escalating, dynamic and intense feel of the Escalation gamemode.
The intense feeling, plus the overall scale and additional gameplay factors will make players feel as if they are fighting an actual war where their deaths, wins and losses contribute to the complete game in the end.
Instead of the "Ring-Around-the-Rosie" stalemate of Conquest, or overall short lasting matches, Total Attrition is meant to bring that chaotic, destructive grounded war experience to a much more reactive and persistent playground where every player can contribute to the final end game match that decides the true winner after a long, hard fought War.
