    I think Multiplayer games could benefit from some kind of indicator that shows what other players are doing. Maybe something along the lines of what Google Spreadsheets does (but obviously, it would need to be reworked for a 3D game). Any thoughts?

    Are you looking for radar without the structure? Super radar? What?

    I think the request is for team members' cursors to be shown on your screen.

    Exactly, it never occurred to me that my post sounds a bit like radar.

    In one of the spring games (NOTA? Maybe Zero-K?) There is a team colored dot (per player) that shows the location of their pointer. It's actually pretty convenient to know who's paying attention to where/what.

    Age of Empires Online (yeah, yeah, I know it died) had shown other players' current view on the minimap. It was quite a nafty thing.

    Perhaps Uber could do it with PIP's? Just an idea.
