 I was I a skirmish earlier today on Manus Peaks. The match had just begun and I had just got through hacking alfa. And defended it from a lone enemy rushing from bravo. I turn around toward the null cannon to check my flanks and go over to the ridge to look out towards charlie. As soon as I turn around and take about two steps. This minja appears out of thin air about 6 meters away from the null cannon firing a combat rifle at me. I was stuned and missed most of my shots at him and he got away. I start to let my squad mates know that there is some funny business going on. But they kinda just shrug it off. Well about a minute later one of my squad mates at alfa confirms what I had just seen. Maybe another 30 or so seconds go by and I spot this minja at the null cannon again, I start firing and chasing him toward the direction of the red line, down that path that leads to the road in front of the alfa ridge toward charlie. He goes all the way down the path and cuts around to the front of the ridge on the road and I momentarily loose sight of him. He's a little ways in front of me so I figure I'll cut over the top of the ridge and catch him on the other side, only when I get over the side of the ridge he's gone, vanished into thin air.
 
 We got red lined shortly after that and the rest of my squad wanted to leave battle, so I ended up leaving with them.
 
 So... WTF! Seriously...WTF!

 No dude you don't understand. This wasn't "running fast" he literaly appeared and disappeared at will.

 We can only hope, and not that it is some crazy exploit.

 I'm telling you this guy came out of nowhere and vanished into the void at least three times confirmed. And I saw him after that as well, even killed him once.

No man, I lost sight of him for the briefest of moments, and then should have regained sight on him with a Hight advantage when I reached the top of the alfa ridge looking towards charlie, but he was gone/vanished. He didn't slip past my vision some how he was just gone.
 
 And none of that even matters I seen the dude appear out of NOTHING plain as day!

 I find this to be unlikely in the extreme. My "psychology" isn't in the habit of mistaking when something appears out of thin air.

 Ya, he was a really good minja because the could actually achieve invisibility.

If you had me, and didn't kill me right then- I'm typically gone or circling back on you. Who was it?  
 Cool, and go do you explain him appearing from nothing?

 Someone above me said as much. I do that all the time. especially with knives.
 
 How could he spawn in when there was no uplink and we had control of the null?
