Why do people call themselves "hackers" on mw2, black ops, etc.?
Hacking is breaking through a firewall, which is what you don't do on video games. All you are doing is "cracking" the game. So basically they are all crackers.

lol I laugh when people say we hack because we suck at the game. I was good I got bored of the game so I started modding it to learn how it works. It's fun. You can use your own creativity to create your own things. People have made tank killstreaks, napalm strikes, valkeries. Were just bored is all.

It is interchangeable because "hacking" involves "hacking and slashing" through the layers of security and encryption of a program/video game in order to gain unfair advantage.
For network hackers, it's hacking through the fire "wall", for video games, it's hacking through the "layers" of security and encryption.
