No i haven't, but i will check. Weird.. Anyways, i wonder what it means.

With the much anticipated release of Diablo III, it's the ideal time to catch up on the storyline that's led us to this grand finale of the memorable trilogy. For many, it'll be their first experience of the series given the time that's lapsed between installments and, while gameplay will be intuitive, it's going to be useful to understand the background behind such games without having to play through the previous two games and expansions packs. The timeline behind the trilogy is a convoluted tale full of intrigue and lore that could cover hundreds of pages of information. Indeed it has, thanks to the many novelizations of the series. While we can't quite go into that level of depth here, we can provide a perfect introduction to the main storyline to ensure that new and lapsed players can catch up with exactly what's going on. <a href="http://www.g4tv.com/games/mac/1949/diablo/">Diablo It feels like a life time ago since the original Diablo was released. The Olympics were in Atlanta and Bill Clinton was still President. Gamers didn't care about anything like that though. They were too busy discovering the world of Sanctuary for the first time. Sanctuary is the setting for all of the Diablo games. In the original adventure, players took the role of a lone and unnamed warrior who sets out to defeat the Lord of Terror, Diablo, but there's plenty of backstory involved before the events that players can affect. Diablo was one of the Prime Evils of the world, alongside Mephisto, Lord of Hatred and Baal, Lord of Destruction. The Lords were captured by the Horadrim, originally created by the Archangel Tyrael in order to prevent these lords of the Burning Hells from taking over the world. Things get even more complex due to the battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells that forms the basis of this classic conflict of good versus evil and in turn created the world of Sanctuary. Long before the adventures of the unnamed hero, Sanctuary was created through the union of an Archangel from the High Heavens, Inarius, and a Prime Evil, Lillith. Falling in love, there was an union of demon and angel for a brief time. Inarius, having the foresight to see it would never last, created Sanctuary as well as a huge crystal known as the Worldstone, which would protect the world from the threat of the High Heavens and Burning Hells. This proved wise as the union of angels and demons led to incredibly powerful and dangerous creatures known as Nephalem. Much conflict ensued amongst Inarius, Lillith and their minions which eventually led to the Prime Evil Lords being thrust into the human world of Sanctuary. Fortunately, the creation of the Horadrim, a brotherhood of Magi, by Archangel Tyrael, trapped the three Lords into soulstones before burying each of them in different locations. The events of the first Diablo game are set into motion due to the disruption of Diablo's burial plot, previously underneath a monastery. Long forgotten, the town of Tristram is established next to it and the monastery destroyed in favor of a cathedral for the highly religious king Leoric. Diablo was then able to use his powers to control the archbishop Lazarus in order to make the man destroy the soulstone and unleash Diablo's true power. Possessing Leoric and his son in order to spread chaos and destruction throughout the realm, it's left to the unnamed hero to save the town and trap Diablo once more in a soulstone. Unfortunately for the hero, things don't quite go according to plan. In his efforts to contain the Lord of Terror, and as the conclusion to the first game, he forces the soulstone into his own skull to trap Diablo once and for all. This leads to the shock ending of the hero being possessed by evil, thus forming the basis for the second game. Diablo 2 Once back in control of a human, Diablo uses this power to set out and track down his demonic brothers, Mephisto and Baal in order to wreak havoc on Sanctuary. Storytelling switches to a narrator's perspective as they explain to a group of adventurers, who stumble across the chaos, just what's happening. The narrator, Marius, encourages the adventurers to pursue the Dark Wanderer, previously known as the possessed hero, and stop the destruction. Much of Diablo II is focused on tracking down Mephisto and Diablo, alongside weaker demons, Andariel and Duriel. Adding to the lore, it's explained that Diablo is able to release his Prime Evil brothers from their soulstones, through being taught the corruption process by a fallen angel, Izual. It's also revealed that there are seven Greater Evils, comprising of the three Prime Evils and four Lesser Evils, of which Andariel and Duriel, form the basis of. Not all seven feature in Diablo II or its expansion pack, Lord of Destruction, with the noticeable absence of Belial, the Lord of Lies, and Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, set to feature in Diablo III. Diablo II ends with the defeat of Mephisto and Diablo and the destruction of their Soulstones, ensuring they can't return from the Burning Hells. Baal, however, is unharmed and uses his powers to coerce Marius into handing over the last soulstone. Thus an epic battle ensues, leading into Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, as Baal seeks out the Worldstone in order to conquer the mortal realm and eventually defeat the High Heavens. Diablo II: Lord of Destruction follows Baal's efforts to destroy Harrogath and the Barbarians who defend the Worldstone there. The player takes the role of someone attempting to gain the trust of the fighters, while also uncovering corruption. It's revealed that one of Harrogath's Elders, Nihlathak, has co-opted with Baal, sacrificing access to the Worldstone Keep and its contents, in order to save Harrogath. Such betrayal leads to his death at the player's hands, and a huge final battle in the Worldstone Keep. The story ends with Archbishop Tyrael destroying the Worldstone due to its corruption by Baal and the risk of invasion from The Burning Hells. Diablo III We pick things up 20 years after the conclusion of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, with an air of suspicion as to why The Burning Hells haven't invaded. It's promised that Lesser Evil, Belial, and Prime Evil, Diablo, will return, despite the latter's earlier death. Sanctuary will be under threat once more with both new and old settings and NPCs to entice players.

Lol and your sig is funny dude, watched it for like 5 minutes.

I appreciate everything everyone has done for me on here. The mods and the almighty admin Twam for making me Staff, the mods giving me awards, everyone being there for me, sharing ideas always fun and i can't say as of late..i have to say as of all time. In my years of being on the net, i haven't found a community better than this. Yes it has it's flaws, but it isn't anything to worry about. I like this site and always will be here for this site when i can. Even if i get demoted/promoted doesn't matter, i will do my best. We are all here for one purpose. Fun.

Yes he does deserve it. He is one the friendliest, listening mods there is. You have my thanks for all you have done and will do, my respect and more important of all my friendship.

Hello and welcome to 343i community forums. Got any questions ask me or any of the other staff and moderators.

Yes, make it have limited ammo. 2-4 shots. Power weapon on the map of course. Seem good?

Lots of people like making films and such. It should be more than just about machinima's. It can be about any video making or anything like that. I am with you.

I think it gives the player a deeper feel for the game, as long as it is not annoying. I like to hear more sounds when you are walking and interacting with objects and crouching. There is this, but it needs to be better. Would be good for that to happen.

I think it should be on the PC as well. It worked well with Halo 1 and 2 as Mr.Biggles said. It would boost sales.

Check out this topic. I found this rather interesting. Might shed some light on these "new" enemies. http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8834-spoilers-are-the-new-halo-4-enemies-actually-very-old-enemies/page__pid__95909?do=findComment&comment=95909

The new enemy revealed via McFarlane toys packaging today, certainly looks like a totally new enemy at first glance. Following a little bit of digging the dark recesses of my memory, I think this may not be their first appearance in Halo. [spoilers after the jump] The Crawlers: (Attention, i found this and i am quoting the person, my actual opinion of these things are nelkrons http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/8320-nelkrons-who-are-they-do-they-actually-exist/.) I'm sure like me, your first thought was that this was a totally new addition to the Halo universe. After a little bit of thinking I remembered these guys: So far as I'm aware they're unnamed creatures that only ever appeared in the . There's certainly a very close resemblance between the creatures from '99 and the Crawlers we see today. Not identical, but then nothing in the E3 '99 demo made into the games without substantial changes. It's just my theory, but it'd be really cool if 343 were pulling in bits of long lost Halo lore like this.

So the guy talking about nelkrons is true being the enemy? Look at that Yellowish..creature beside the bug looking one. Looks like a nelkron to me.

I am for sure. I hate how people are saying Tyrael is going to be evil. If anyone is going to be evil it is Imperious, Tyrael has done nothing but help Humankind and protect the heavens. Imperious has so much rage, and disapproves of capturing and imprisoning the prime evils when the other members of the council, agree, especially Tyrael. If anyone is going to be a fallen angel in Diablo 3, i am saying Imperious. This game is going to be really fun, people who aren't new to it, you should check it out. I have news posts about it, in "gaming news" and "other games" sections. Enjoy.
