No. Just no.
The person who puts the person down does 100+ damage yet the dude who lobs a flash bang all the way across the map and delivers the last point of damage gets the kill. I had not met anyone who didn't like the blackops system regarding last stand until today.
The person who does 99 damage when a flash bang is lobbed across the map to deliver the last point loses out of the kill as well, but people don't argue for "The guy who does the most damage gets the credit".
Final Stand isn't Last Stand. With Last Stand, the person was going to die no matter what anyone did, it was only a matter of time. Anyone else who came along was just speeding up the process. With Final Stand, if no one finishes the job, then the person doesn't die. If you do 100+ damage and walk away, and no one else comes along, then you don't get a kill because no one ever actually killed the guy. If someone else comes along and hits someone in Final Stand, then they finished the job, they killed a guy who otherwise was not going to die and get the kill credit.
Is it fair? Neither option is really fair. I don't like Final Stand being in the game at all. If it has to be present, I'd rather the game be able to handle half-kills to deal with the issue. (Person who puts the guy into Final Stand gets a half-point on death, and person who finished the Final Stand guy gets a half-point. If both are the same person, then they get a full point. Same for if the Final Stand guy kills himself while in Final Stand, for an Assisted Suicide.) But the game can't handle half-kill credits. (Assists are not half-kills. For one thing, Assists don't count towards killstreaks unless you have Hardline Pro. Nor do they count on Score.) And yes, half-kill credits would be a bit silly themselves, but they are about as fair as you can get for the situation.
