Is there a way to see player names in game?

[Zed]

Me and a friend were walking through pinecrest getting in firefights. We never type in chat.

While I was walking down the backroad, some guy glanced at me, and was calling me "drigo", and was talking to me.

Afterwards, he called my friend by name after glancing at him too, and a few other people.

Is there a way to see player names in game?

But how would that allow somebody to know who I am in game. This person was looking at us, and telling who we were, despite not knowing who any of us were.

There isn't a way in game to know who a player is - like a floating title. You can see player lists through Steam or learn who players are via in-game chat, but that's about it.

So, was that guy cheating then? I heard an ESP would allow you to see names, because he was identifying everyone he saw and calling them by name.

There should be a way to find out who people are, either a name when you die, or a name on corpses, so you can at least report someone if you think they are cheating.

No, there shouldn't be. That can lead to harassment between players. And it would also take from the realism as well as the concept of the game. This is a survival game. Not a kill-people game.

If you think you are killed in a suspicious way, report it to the developers. Give a timeframe for when you are killed and the server you played on, and they should be able to detect whether your killer used any sort of software with the game.

And how will knowing someones name on a server lead to harrasment between players?
This is a "survival" game, but because of that situation, I caught someone cheating, and now I can't even report him, because theres no way to tell who he was.

You've clearly got your opinion.

Also, server admins can view damage logs and know who killed who.
