When you enter the game you get to choose a race (undead, human, orc or night elf), each race has 3  
different skills and an ultimate skill. You start out without any special skills, but as you gain  
frags you gain Experience. With each new level of experience you get to select a new skill or upgrade  
a skill you already have (the menu will popup at the start of the next round automatically, or you can  
do it manually by typing "selectskill" in the console or binding a key to it). Once you get to level 6  
you can choose the ultimate skill, to use these your going to need to bind a key to the command "ultimate".
