The term
1337 H4x0r (1337 sp33k for Elite Hacker), is generally used to describe a PC gamer who is very good with using hacks (H4x) to obtain an unfair advantage. The term is most often an oxymoron because a player who uses cheats is generally not a good (5K1ll3d) player. In other words, this is an oxymoron because someone who is a hacker cannot be
1337.
A rare exception is this: in Halo for PC there was no way to enforce cheating, and in large clan war websites (
like the old www.klanwars.com) many clans used hacks to stay on top. Thus, in very
high ranking clan games, every player would be using hacks (ie:aimbots and wallhacks). Thus, the best H4x0rs could be considered
1337 compared to other hackers... a
1337 H4x0r.
