I do see a name or two off and on, but only when I hit certain servers.
I like being able to recognize players by name. It gives a feeling of being a team and you know whether you want them on your side or whether they are easy marks (people tend to play certain ways...).
Yeah, when I had to format and reinstall (right after the patch came out), I used the full one. Installed BF2, installed SF, installed the patch. THEN I fired it up to play.
