So I think this is 100% a bug which has happened to me that I also have just reported as a big issue.
It was half way through a match, I used an airstrike and killed 2 guys in a building and the second the bomb hit all my HUD disappeared and my camera panned up in the sky (Kind of like how GTA V does when swapping characters) and all I could see/do was watch a birdseye view of the map (Image attached)
I waited to see what would happen solely for the purpose of being able to write about it during the bug report.
After about 10 minutes of waiting the end screen popped up stating I had gotten 4th place however I was only given 3500xp so it doesn't appear people are doing this on purpose and if they are, they get no xp for placing in the top 5 etc.
