@Sati_Sati @raidernaphtali @felker_s & @EA_Atic I know this is off subject but didn't want to start a new topic just for this question.
Was playing GA on Jakuu last night & targeted another player about 15 mtrs in front, fired first and he within a split second moved sideways several metres out of my line of fire behind an object then came from behind the object to eliminate me with one shot. My first thought was rocket trooper but when he reappeared, was only a normal trooper. As you all are probably better players than me, is this a move I have missed or possible hacker? Thought about lag maybe but hadn't noticed any.

Kinda hard to tell, could be anything you mentioned: a better player, network lag, or an actual cheater.
If you are on consoles, I'd rule out cheating, haven't heard or seen such a thing on Xbox (in any game, in fact).
But to say if it was lag or a good move by a player, that would require video of the event. Did he move or roll? Combat roll is pretty effective as it is, and sometimes when you do it e.g. on a small slope, it might even throw you further. Due to the 3rd person camera, "pre-aiming" on you from cover is also possible, hence the 1-shot kill.
If he simply moved, then it is most likely that it was just a network lag spike.
Also, are you sure that it was the same guy? Could have been one person moving into cover (jet trooper), and another coming out of said cover (normal trooper).

@felker_s - It was a move that I expect from a rocket trooper - directly sideways, ( no roll, no height change) in an instant and no indication of other players close by. It was strange but I guess the most logical is that it was lag. I play on xbox and there are plenty of cheaters that appear now and then. Go online & see how many modded controllers are available or DIY mods for controllers (these aren't considered cheating but do give an advantage). No matter what platform, hackers will find a way.
