Well comeone need to set him straight. I hate when people think that mods are hacks. I can understand certain misconceptions but I have never understood this one and I don't think that I ever will.Plinglebob said:

For single play it doesn't bug me, but for multliplayer (TF2) they piss me off to no end.D Y N A S T Y said:
Depends on what kind of modder(?) it is, if it's one that create maps and such I have no problem with it, People that makes aimbot with more can go die in a fire pit(also these kind of people isn't modders...) T.T.
What I know, some developers sue hackers for changing there codes... But never seen a hacker found guilty :sPlinglebob said:
My only problem with it is how many messages I have saying "10th PRESTIGE LOBBY COME JOIN NAO FOR FREE 10th PRESTIGE ITS SO FAKIN OSUM"
It pisses me off, I just got done with a hacked game tonight I should have left after the 20th time a knife didn't kill someone I just knifed 5 times, Marathon, lightweight, commando all pro, akimbo vector, .44 with tac knife, and I couldn't knife a single person on the enemy team, you'd shoot them and they'd just keep running.
reported every one on the opiset team cause they seemed to be running a party.

Personally I like modding when it's in a controlled evironment where everyone has the same mods, this is where dedicated servers and PC games really stand out... but when you start exploiting or cracking to gain advantage over others, well, I can't help but feel a little pity that those people are so bad at the game that they need to break the system to win.
As for the whole hacking, modding, cracking debate... well, if you make a modification you are modding if you write code you are hacking (yes to us software engineers hacking is just writing code it's not breaking into anything and what not, usually it's a colloquialism you'll frequently hear this bug fix was a dirty hack) and if you break a system you are cracking.

Modded controllers or modded games?
Both are on the down-turn.
BTW, don't confuse console modding with PC game modding, the first one being cheating, the second one making the game different, such as in Fallout 3, where a mod adds a water filter you can buy for your house, where as a console mod would make you have unlimited ammo.
For the record.

I love modding, what you describe isn't really modding and this Mr said it more or less:

[HEADING=1]Modding does not mean cheating[/HEADING]
Multiplayer mods can be amazing, Team Fortress started out as a mod so I don't get how modding can be a bad thing.
Don't start calling 'hacking', 'modding'. They have been separated years ago for good reason. Dictionary definitions of these terms mean fuck all in gaming slang.

I made a mod for morrowind and it has over 1000 downloads, short answer I FUCKING love modding and mods and all the crap around it
hacking actually is the right word according to the dictionary definition.IMrAngryPantsI said:
this is exactly what your refering to. "modding" as you call it is adding in some code to run in the background on a client machine (ie, the computer or console your playing on) to give said person an unfair advantage, whether it be speed hacks, wall hacks or even guns that fire rockets at 50 rps with unlimited ammo. by its dictionary definition this is hacking.
but either way, you have to choose your wording wisely. modding and hacking can both be used here, but since modding is a commonly used term for custom, user made content and hacking is typically used for cheating in online games hacking would be the better word to use here, not modding.
Hmmmm. I guess all of you consider "modding" is just PC. Hacking is console wise. never thought of myself as a hacker, too derogatory. Well. Thanks for the input.
