"In Combat" should only happen when being shot at. Couldn't spawn bc Claymore

You should not be marked as "In Combat" when you are shooting at an enemy, only when you're being shot at. Had a teammate who was unable to spawn on me briefly because an enemy ACROSS THE MAP died to my CLAYMORE. This is obviously insane.

Teammates sometimes fire weapons or swing melee or get kills for no reason or across the map, this should not mark them as in combat and prevent spawning.

And frankly, if my teammate is shooting at someone and they're totally oblivious and not shooting back, let me spawn! My teammate got the jump, why am I being punished here?
