Change your steam community name.

The game is not balanced for name change...

i already saw people with colored nicks. at least in the lobby. so its possible ...

Just like the old CoD games,

use ^ + a number for colour change.

so ^7op^11^7uM

that gives you a white name with a red 1 op1uM

^0op^11^7u^0M = op1uM

try them out,
0= black
9= grey
8= team colour
7= white
6= pink
5= cyan
4= yellow
3= blue
2= green
1= red

It's kinda the same topic, so I decided not to make a new one.
I was looking all over, but I didn't find anything.

The question is as follows: is it possible to have symbol ^ (Alt 94) in your nickname in CoD MW2?

Example:
nickname in lobby: xxx +^ yyy (good, just as I want it)
nickname in game: xxx +yyy (bad, I want to fix it)

You know how it was in CS before, you couldn't just change name containing special characters; you needed to put the whole thing in "" after /name tag.
So mby there's a smart trick I don't know about in cod as well?

It's hard to find any info, particularly cuz I don't know the name of the symbol, so it's hard to google it.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, and the funny thing that it shows alright in lobby, but in game it disappears together with the following space symbol, and looks like crap.
