Yes, it should be there in the next multiplayer SDK update.  (I don't have any 
time frame for when that will be.)

This is great and the cherry on top would be to add that string to the player 
connect log line - something like this:

L 11/12/2013 - 21:52:16: "Jimmy<288><STEAM_0:1:12345><>" connected, address 
"1.2.3.4:27005<http://1.2.3.4:27005>", method "serverbrowser_favorites"

It tells you what tab they used.  So you know whether they used the favorites 
tab versus the main server list.

What's the point of having this feature on the other games if the only way to 
connect is via the server browser?

Several server operators have requested the ability to know how
their
clients are connecting to their server.  The latest TF update added a
new client convar, cl_connectmethod, that contains a string value that
indicates how the client connected to your server.  It's sent in the
same way as cl_rate and others, and a plugin should be able to access
this information.  It will be empty if joined directly through a
console "connect" command.  I apologize that I don't have the list of
values at hand, but I'm sure some helpful server operator or plugin
author will post the list of codes that are sent.

Please be aware that the field is not secure, and the work required
to
secure it is not trivial.  Without too much effort a client could send
you pretty much any string they want.  So this is best used for
general reporting purposes and understanding where your players are
coming from, not to treat players differently based on how they connect.

This is a Source engine change, so it will be available in CS:S,
DoD:S,
and HL2:DM in the next update for those games.
