When I join - the name is always defaulted back to my account name rather than the dMw|Penfold game name.
How can I make it remember my multiplayer name? (I couldn't do the | for the account name).
Thanks

Start CoD4
Go to Options
Then go to Multiplayer Options
Select Player name and enter dMw|Penfold in the box.
Apply changes and you should be set to go (if it doesn't work we'll put it into the config-mp.cfg manual using a text editor but more of that if needed :)
OK but I have to do that every time I join. Is there no way to make it default to that name?
It's irritating that it doesn't remember the last name you input.

If you change your multiplayer name while youre not in-game (in the main menu i suppose..) it should remember your new name. It does with me anyway..

Lets do it manually then :)
Using Windows Explorer go to where your player profile is stored (mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\BlueBall)
In that location there will be a file called config_mp.cfg
Open it in wordpad (notepad doesn't read the line breaks properly)
Search for "seta name" without the quotes.
Edit the value to be your desired name - my entry reads as follows:
seta name "dMw|BlueBall"
save and close the file
Sjees that is an long list,toke some time too find your name..
OK done. thanks team
