Clan/Drunk/noMic-tagspace

Silverwing

<div class="IPBDescription">a la Battlefield 2</div>Well the topic says it but here goes.

Sometimes you wanna play and have no mic or wifey/hubby is in the room and you can't use it. [NoMic]Silverwing
Sometimes (like now) you have had a few beers [Drunk]Silverwing
Sometimes you wanna flash your latest clantag [BoK]Silverwing

Please consider adding an easily-changed prefix to your permanent nick.

To reiterate: Your Steam-afilliated Nick (in my case Silverwing) would be the same but you can easily change the prefix [this].

See?

Can I get a hell yeah?!

Neg-a-tive. Game should use the steam friends name without any possible workarounds like name "newname" in console.

custom name tags, heck yeah!

kicker

u can easily script this ...

bind "f5" "nickname"
alias nickname "nickname0"
alias nickname0 "name [Drunk]Silverwing ; alias nickname nickname1"
alias nickname1 "name [BoK]Silverwing ; alias nickname nickname2"
alias nickname2 "name [jerking]Silverwing ; alias nickname nickname0"




...and please no steamname only ...i hate this in dod:s when u have to change your name after every round

Thanks for not reading the OP at all. Fail, try again.

Ok, it would seem I was unclear, as 100 ppl have viewed this, 4 have answered and only one got what I ment.

What I mean is a prefix to your permanent, steam-bound nick. A way to tell other players that you have no sound, cannot use the mic, are drunk, are in a clan or any number of things. I suspect the main use of this would be for Clan prefixes but I know from experience in BF2 that it is very useful for things like [NoMic] or [NoSound].

Again, naming rules could remain exactly as they are, the only thing changed would be an easily-changed (on a per-session basis) prefix. Or name-rules could mimic BF2 and be locked to a STEAM-id. I would prefer the latter option but this is entirely optional. Why would I prefer this?

So from what i understand you want an option for just prefix (tags)?
