You could color code chat messages and your name in Call of Duty 2 in the following way:
^1Red
Everything after the "^1" were red.
The game removed these color codes when it showed your name, but you could do ^^11Red to bypass that (it only removed color codes for one pass)

- mattowen_uk 6y agoYup, Quake had something similar that allowed players to have fancy looking names in multiplayer games.
- meddlepal 6y agoIndeed, this was one of those undocumented but everyone sort of knew features in Quake-engine based games. Everyone just learned it through asking usually in the multiplayer chat.

- Narishma 6y agoMakes sense since Call of Duty traces it's engine lineage to Quake 3.
