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.

You can *not* change your name in-game for TF2.
