I'm convinced Support is the strongest class in Battlefield 6, and I've spent 20 hours playing the FPS like a strategy game because of it

In the 15 years or so that I've played Battlefield, I've treated it as an FPS first and a strategy game second. Follow my logic: yes, it's heavily objective-based and winning revolves around playing to a bigger picture, but that doesn't matter if you can't kill the enemy in front of you before getting shot to pieces. But in Battlefield 6, I've been inverting that order – determined to see just how much I can impact my team's chances of victory.

That doesn't mean I'm blindly running into objectives like a lemming, nor does it mean I'm sitting back with a sniper trying to get as many kills as possible. I'm calling the tactic Big Brain Battlefield, and the secret? Er… mostly just playing Support.
