Name Changes

saiyr

<div class="IPBDescription">...name changes</div> Is there a way to make name changes immediate instead of waiting till the next round? You only change immediately if you're in ready room, I think.

I don't think there is, and here's why:

If this were made possible, dead, spectating teammates could 'talk' to the living teammates by putting messages in their names (which are displayed to everyone when a namechange occurs).

If you need to change you name, just hit F4 to return to the readyroom, and change it. Then just rejoin your team. Name changes in the readyroom are only displayed to others in the readyroom, not the people playing.

Team only spectating is cool. And like in Counter-Strike, you can't do name changes when you're dead. (The reason I argue this point is because I'm lazy, and I'm sure others are too.)

But still.. I find it kinda weird when I want to switch to the aliens and my alien name is "SGT.Grimes"...
