Disabling nametags or at least customizing the size/distance of them

[Leopardi]

Am I the only one who's distracted by the ugly too big nametags that show up from way too far away? Like in this video at ~40s

It just hurts the immersion when you see those nametags everywhere. Gives it a true 90s pixelated gamey-game feeling when you could be immersed with the graphics.

This has been brought up before in several threads, one with a poll.
Apparently, it is not possible to make this a client side option. (now it is a server side option).

Sure it is, it's just a HUD feature. At least customizing size or disabling it altogether.

I thought so to, but it isn't. Search the forum if you don't believe me. I will try to look it up, I made a thread asking the same. Seems it's not that easy.
Real shame though, I agree with you.

Actually, here is the explanation why we can't change it client side:

Mekhazzio explained it's impossible or at least very hard to do with a mutator. TWI themselves can do it easy peasy through a patch, which I would welcome.

I totally agree. The option to remove the names, change them to tiny arrow markers, or show them below someone's feet rather than over their head, would be great.

He's just talking about that he can't mod it himself. Tripwire of course can fix this easily with a patch.

Really, then why hasn't this been done?

I agree, i would also like to decrease the size of text chat for example

Personally, I think this should include text chat and the kill feed.

Let's keep it real, this is by far the worst one that affects your field of view all the time, I'd be happy if we just got this out of the way for starters.

Look at it. Am I playing an excel spreadsheet? You could hide an army behind those nametags and you wouldn't know its there.
