Nope, you other systems NEED to know your IP to able to exchange data over the data. Its like sending letters to someone and not supplying a return address and expecting an answer!

the only way to hide a public IP address is to use NAT (Network Address Translation) using ADSL so you get a private IP address
but your router gets a public IP which is still visible.

A public proxy server would be way to slow to play a MP game.
and honestly if your just gaming you have no need to hide your IP...
