Question QUESTION: How the f**k does one change his name in this game?
Thanks.
ANSWER: Hi there Glenn,
Your name in TF2 is tied to your Steam Community Account. Go to Tools -> Options and it is right there. :)

QUESTION: Hello,
There is no 'Tools' menu. Nonetheless, I went to options, but I can't find my currently assigned name. What I want to know is this: can I change my name, such as I can in Counter-Strike Source?
Answer Hitting Shift-Tab brings up you tools menu, go into options. It's your SteamID. Make sure you've gone into the settings and enabled the in-game community/friends otherwise it will just show you as "Unknown". Put your name into your SteamID box. That will be your in-game name.
