This would be a simple plugin, so I'm wondering if it already exists (or something better).
A "taunting" plugin would detect specific in-game events or sequences, send out a little message to everyone and play custom sounds (discovered at load time in certain directories) (allowing people to distribute "sound packs" of .wavs). One example might have "from down-town!" from nba-jam for a long range kill, or various UT2004 announcer sounds perhaps for kill streaks, "nemesis" detection ala TF2... etc).
The downside would be all users on a server would have to have a sound pack installed as (at least in 2.4, not sure about other branches) there is no way to have the client download the sounds at map load time...

Re: Taunting plugin?
Plugin triggered sounds (custom or stock) have never worked right, unfortunately. It seemed to crash clients.
As for the messages, there is already a server plugin for that that we include with the game. The playHistoryTracker plugin will send out messages like "soandso is on a Rampage!".
