[Rover: Communication]
Rovers have to keep the team informed, so there's a lot of talljing going on.

Dropping Ammo There are some nice complicated aliases out there for dropping items, but in it's barest form, you should just have a key bound to dropping different items. I have my drop ammo key bound like this:
bind home "drop shells; drop bullets; drop grenades, drop rockets, drop cells; drop slugs;
Hey, Team, I just dropped some ammo %L."
So, I'll drop a pack of ammo, then say where. Ussually I drop it right next to the person, if everyones hiding, I drop it by the flag and they can come and get it. If you leave it dropped to long, it'll disappear. So if no one comes to get it after a few seconds, pick it up and drop it again.

Item Notification
If you're item guard, make sure that you tell the team that it did, or else you'll defeat the purpose of the position. Binding keys to "The Quad Respawned!" or "Someone grab the Invul!" are a nice idea, because you might not have time to type it yourself.

Jamming Enemy Communication
First off, this is annoying as hell. Make sure you check with your team when you do this. Now that I have warned you... Make a .cfg file filled with static. Then execute that file a billion times. This will also stop your team from communicating, so use this only when your sure the enemy are communicating. To know how the enemy is communicating is quite simple. If some of them aren't moving, and if you see an "OK" over public channels with no message that it seems to be responding too.
