Client side option to turn off floating names.

[Welcome_To_Hell]

I think the control of floating names should be controllable client side in the options. This should be regardless of server setting. If a player wants to make life more difficult and immersive for himself, let him.

With options such as:

Always on.
Always off.
On when aiming at player.
Toggle on with a key.
Both with a key and when aiming at player.

Ive played a few fps shooters where this is extremely annoying. Lets say your aiming at a guy pretty far away and the only thing in sight is his head. Than a teammate runs in foreground blocking the target with his nametag.

If you want to quickly find out where everybody is just tap a key or point before shooting.

Plus different running animations should make it easier to distinguish friend from foe.

The way it should be is if the server has them disabled, you can't get them, but if the server has them enabled, you can turn it off. Those options are a good idea.
