on your own, doesn't for some reason count as being a solo kill. I've had several matches where i've found disconnected players, been the only one to damage them, score the killing blow, but not been awarded the solo/kmdd for them.

I've seen the same problem myself way too many times. You have my agreement that PGI should fix that. :mellow:

I don't think it should count at all until the last couple of minutes of the game.

PGI's servers are crap and tons of players get disconnected at drop, only to log in 2 minutes later to find out they've been Piranha'd. I know your kinda under game rules to kill them.. but..

what do you think? rewards for cowardness? the game rewards teamplay, no killer-monger-spees

When the disconnected person is the last one standing holding up the game ending I don't see a reason why that person can't be killed. I just ended a match where the last guy was a crashed game who didn't rejoin, what's the point of rejoining your usually dead by the time you reconnect and even if you do you sometimes get a leave penalty.... I think a better solution would be to simply FIX THE SERVERS!!!
