@Marge010I don't think your spectacting theory is true at all. The player who thirsts gets the credit if the person who downed him is dead, even if you are spectacting.(yes you do get the eliminated msg, but it will not actually add to your stats)
It's very hard to capture this because it doesn't happen too often but I've uploaded a video where it shows part of what I'm talking about.
The video shows that I down 2 players. Because I don't quit when me and my squad are killed you will see it shows eliminated twice on the screen for the players that I downed after the player who kills me then kills their remaining player (who was trying to revive his teammate at the time). BUT I don't get kill credit and neither does the player I am watching. The player I am watching only gets kill credit for the remaining player he kills. So that means nobody gets kill credit for the players I downed.
If you see I had 2 kills before I downed the 2 players in the video and at the very end of the video it shows I still had 2 kills.
Now if I had stopped watching after I was killed and I quit the game and if the player killed the already downed players first he would have got kill credit for both of them but if I was still watching it would say eliminated on the screen (as though I had killed them) and nobody would get kill credit.
I will try get another video to show more of this theory if I can.
Ignore the poor gameplay, I'm not that good at this game.
