The game checks its own main executable for hacks, be it cheats or a no-CD patch. If it's not original - without cheats, cracks etc. -, you won't be allowed to play online. It's this simple. I think, some games (Battlefield: 1942?) have two executables: one is cracked, the other is the original, the cracked is launched but the original is checked. However, this still allows hacks other than no-CD patches, but online cheating is very disgusting so companies want to act against that, too.
