The cursor

[Jos de trol]

I'm surprised to see one of the most important aspects of the game hasn't gotten a thread of its own yet. As we know the cursor is very important for game immersion plus everyone will be staring at it all of the time. So there's no excuse for not having a nice stylized cursor. Why not even different cursor for all the great powers? Maybe make it DLC?

So what type of cursor would everyone like?

1) leather glove cursor
2) combat knife cursor
3) Messerschmit/P51 cursor
4) luger pistol cursor
5) AK 47 cursor
6) ...

Cursors are for CoD casual players. Real war gaming can only be done through console commands.

What are the cursors for various other games? I can't even recall exactly.

Glove cursors are usually fine, but arrows are also fine.

A V-2 FTW. Especially if the "waiting" graphic was it taking off . . .

 

[Holy.Death]

I think that a leather glove would fit the theme nicely.

 

[EmperorTojo]

Leather glove might feel a bit medieval.

I said that i would like no cursor at all, and my opinion, first read a post few times and think a bit deeper about the meaning before throwing moderator-ish stuff out here, good joke man

Some
"Hail arm" for Germany
"Pisa tower" for Italy
"Katana" for Japan
"Bottle of wine" France
"Big Ben" GreatBritain
"Dollar Note" for USA
"Red Fist" for USSR

 

[Jos de trol]

those are all great suggestions guys, the creative juices are flowing

I had also been thinking about a grenade being lobbed (you could see the trajectory with the grenade at the tip of the cursor)
also a red star medal

Well, some time ago I made a bunch of country-specific mouse pointers for AoD, two examples of which are shown below (JAP Katana - SOV Guards' badge):

Cursor is obviously going to be the hulk of a charred panzer.

 

[Liquid Sky]

They should make a Cursor DLC

 

[prototyp05]

I think we will see the cursor just in the alpha and beta stage of the game. The final release will be optimised for win 8 with touchscreen and will come with out cursor.

 

[Vegas2010]

White surrender flag for France.

 

[Jos de trol]

and should the cursor be interactive? like to take the example above the white surrender flag for france waves a bit when you click your mouse button?

What's medieval in that?

I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up, but how about a mushroom cloud?
