Wad this cheating?

I play a game called star wars battlefront. There's a mode called hero hunt where someone plays as a hero, luke, han Leia, etc. And the rest play as soldiers, and the soldiers have to hunt down the hero. I didnt know this until I message them, but someone was playing as lando, and threw there tracker outside of the map, so it made us think he was hiding outside of the map, while he was running around undetected killing us. It was just really annoying, because he would do this every match. Was he cheating if he was using out if bounds to his advantage?
