You should be able to change your name while playing ... like lets say your nick was 'Asshole' .. you could type /nick Asshat and then a message would appear for everyone on the server saying 'Asshole is now known as Asshat'

However, if there is someone with the nick 'Asshat' in the server already, then you should get a message saying 'Error: Nick already in use'

( Kinda like irc :F )

Why would you want to change your name anyway?

I'm not totally against it, but I don't like it either.. simply because it's something I would never use.
Maybe it's the annoying nick changing you see on IRC and the fancy scrolling stuff in games with the Q3 engine..

I'm not all against it either, but I don't like it, really. It would be kind of annoying to see everyone changing their Soldat names, knowing that they can change it back anytime they want.

1) It would be confusing.
2) It would be annoying, only in some cases.
3) It could be useful if something was added or subtracted.

:D So that's pretty much what I think.

Bleh, but sometimes funny things come up, and you don't wanna exit and lose your score, so you change your nick ingame.
/nick Me likes it.

That proves it. Someone who suggested it before got flamed by: "omg its useless, get lost moron"
now when knot posted it, people are like: "ok". Well i think its an ok idea. Example: Your exiting the server, go to options, change name and try to connect back. Server full. Without the /nick you woulnt have to leave.

I don't change my name so often but it could get useful some times so I'm for it.

But why do that when there's a command? Commands r0x0r your b0x0rs mate. This is just a suggestiom to make something slightely easier.. tis these suggestions that help the game a lot.

And exactly, it's not like people would be constantly changing their names.. And if some asshat does try and spam like that he should get kicked for 15 minutes..

I don't like this idea. Then all are just changing their names. It's not hard to change from Options? or is it?

to stop abusing this command changing nick once per let's say 10 minutes should be allowed

and it would be helpful

i really missed the /nick option. It's the first command i typed in. Maybe its an idea to only let the nick change after 10 mins or so. i mean... when everybody constantly changes their nick it sucks. (although thats also not the case on irc).

/nick has my vote! :)

Or it should automatically put a (#) on the end.
