[Basic Communication]

You have to talk to have fun. Here's some stuff to say to the whole world. Team only messages will be covered later.
Public Channels
There's some stuff everyone should know. To talk over public channels, type say (message at the console, or bind a key to "messagemode". Such as:
- Thanks: Thank people for giving you stuff, and saving you. It's amazing how much more enjoyable the game is with this little word.
- Sorry: Sometimes you're running on you merry way, and run in the middle of a fire-fight. Your teammate is the victor, but the spoils fall on you. You should say sorry and offer them to the rightful owner.
- Compliments: Tell your team they're kicking ass, and tell the other team if they are too.
  With Quake 2 came the wonderful feature to make your model do cool stuff like wave, taunt, and point. It's fun to Flip Off dead Strogg, and sometimes even dead marines, but these commands can sometimes be used for communication.
- Jump once: I'm over here. Used to idenify who you're talkin' to.
- Jump Twice: Lookee Here! It's me!
- Jump a lot: Appluase or need ammo.
- Getting hit with grapple: Get the hell outta the way.
- Body Slam: Get the hell out of the way!
- Point: I dropped stuff, there's a tech, go over there. Note: Some people use a blaster to point, so it you see someone blasting at something when they were jsut holding a good weapon look where they're shooting.
- Wave: Move out
- Taunt: Usually a good job or applause sign.
- Flipoff: Good Job, applause.
- Salute: Understood
