Change your name in the config_mp and make it "read only"

other than that dont use steam when playing cod4 on 1.8 server.

off-topic, I see you are still able to play COD4 x. Is the 1.7 patch malware free from COD4me?

kust go to multiplayer options and change the name

Recently bought the game and have been playing Multiplayer for a few weeks.
I can't change my name that is displayed in match ( it displays my Steam name ), and in the menu, it displays the name I put inside the options.
Tried the "read only" method but doesn't fix.
Anyone knows a solution?

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the same issue (sorry for the necropost)

UPDATE: I found how to do it. You have to open the multiplayer directly instead of doing it through steam

in the main menu go to Select Profile and press new or select one you have already made
