Being that it IS on lockout and not only you, but someone else has this kind of kill, I would assume it means you shot one of the Explosives and thats how you got the kills.

I think that it is something that is similar to being killed by the Guardians. NOT to say that a classified kill means that someone was killed by the Guardians, but that it operates similarly. If a player is killed and the game can't determine what the cause of death was, you get the "Killed by the Guardians" message. Usually, this happens from glitching or from some routine thing, like getting hit by the train on Terminal, but there are always some errors in the game, and I'm sure most of us have experienced getting stuck or splattered and getting Guardian-ed.

In the case of a Classified Kill, I think its the same thing. For whatever reason, the game couldn't determined what killed you. Like you guys have mentioned, it probably happens mostly due to you blowing up a fusion core and killing someone, or "splattering" them with something other than a vehicle (like nading a box or barrel into someone and having it crush them). Realize though that programming ain't perfect, defects happen, and it could very well be that you sniped someone in the face and the game farted and didn't realize what happened. Something like that.
