If someone makes a plugin and decides to change the name of some gametype like "Body Count" to "Coop", does it mean it is any different? If I were to rename "King of the Hill" to "Coop Tag", does that mean it is now a coop map?
No. Renaming "Hunting" as "Infection!" and calling it a competetive coop doesn't make it a coop. You are still competeting with the other players. You are not in the same team. It is a FFA where you can't easily kill the other players, but you can still kill them.

deadfall would be a "co-op" if it weren't for ubers. the point is (and this is obvious to anyone who's actually played it with others) to kill zombies. The twist is that human players 'switch' teams when they die.
If it was meant to be played as competitive hunting, then human players would have no incentive not to kill other humans at the start.
Plus, the games would be much shorter, and much less fun.
Not that I care about rankings (and I have no idea how, if at all, hunting figures into competitive rankings), but if anyone wanted to fix this, the solution would be to take hunting out of the regular competitive rankings. Falcon's right, hunting is more like willow creek than it is koth pg.
'Normal' hunting (ie. on reg maps like gimble or w/e) is kind of a co-op race, like mdq (which isn't scored against other gametypes, obviously), and raaarely is there a situation where you're better off going for the enemy units than the targets.
Hunting is also the only gametype that's never been worked into a tourney format, and for good reason. All other gametypes have made it in.
To recap: deadfall creatively uses hunting to make an interesting and original twist on team co-op, falcon is a genius, hunting shouldn't be ranked, and despite having more forum posts than a viagra bot, vr still sucks at using sarcasm.
