Set team messages (Discussion)

The idea is that you have Counter Strike-like messages that can be issued at the touch of a key, and which can be heard in your headphones: -- "Enemy spotted." -- "Need backup." -- "Storm the front." -- "Stick together, team."

Why this is a good idea

• Adds to convenience of PvP.
• Potentially adds to humor (depending on what messages are available).
• Messages are clearer (you hear them; you don't have to keep one eye on the chat window).

Why it may not work out

• CS-like commands are stylistically inappropriate as they stand -- too modern, too military, etc. They'd have to be reworded to be practical.
• I think that there should be only 1 of these messages, "READ TEAM CHAT!!!!!!"
