At least on XP you have the option to not type name at all, just click on the name/avatar thing and enter password. I'd guess every modern OS has that option.

And anyone who cares about security that little probably doesn't give a shit about their name being known.

Probably != definitely. And security in your home != privacy on the internet. Please give at least a single *valid* reason for keeping that 'feature'.
Also: who here uses their _exact_ computer username in-game (without colors, tags, etc)? And what if the user name is registered? Is giving an error that 'the name is registered by an admin' to first time user at first connect such a good idea? Names like Newbie#0 aren't/shouldn't be registered.

It's more accurate than Unnamedplayer, and people using/not using there username in game is irrelevant, as those people have already set a name.  (And fyi, I go by just a white "david" in game quite often).

And lots of servers have had unnamedplayer registered at various times.

David, you dont seem to understand that the *majority* of PC users arent computer literate, most computers names were set by parents when they first bought the computer. At least have a start up men for the first time you run Tremulous which allows you (like battlefield 2) to have your own profile.

I have to agree that it is an extraordinarily bad idea to import a local account name into an online game.  Don't even make it an opt-in menu option - if people must have it they can type /name username, but I can't imagine who would.  Anyone who is even mildly privacy-aware would isolate their pseudonyms from anything having to do with real life.

xoxoxo,

I seem to break this privacy conversation, but...

There is thing called toggle sprint/toggle wallwalk. And i Need. Everytime. Put. It. on. just click off and on.

Minor, but really annoys sometimes if you notice you need wallwalk, and then rifle sucks your life out cuz wallwalk doesn't work properly.

Try fix this please :)? and if there is way to fix it, please put link right away. I appreciate that. Truly, I do.
