Escalation Rule Change Proposal(Stalemate Mechanic)

Battlefield 6

I just finished a match of escalation and was on the losing side of the stalemate mechanic which I think just feels flat out bad.

I think they should change it to where if lets say both teams hold the same number or objectives for a period, when the stalemate mechanic kicks in, the team who is winning’s bar continues to fill but they don’t win the round until they hold the majority of objectives.

That way the team who is winning still is rewarded for being ahead and the losing team isn’t punished as hard for being behind because technically it is still even. I know they already have the advantage of having their HQ being closer to the overall amount of objectives but that sometimes doesn’t do enough IMO.

This would also allow the games to go longer and spawn the max amount of vehicles which is where I think the game mode really shines is the chaos growing over time due to the smaller playable area and more fire power. I wouldn’t mind there being a max time limit to games (I haven’t ever hit that in a match if there is one) so there is still a win condition if they are stuck in a stalemate.

Escalation is my favorite mode outside of Conquest so wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts. To show my bias though, I really enjoy heli’s/jets so this could just be that coming into play (I want all the vehicles to spawn haha).
