While looking for the texture for the Protoss Loading Bar, I was heftily greeted by what I can only explain as a true surprise.

So, I decided to dive further! Turns out, Blizzard actually put the BlizzCon 2010 Decal Goodies into StarCraft II before they show them public! If you don't mind seeing spoilers, you can click here to view them.

So? What do you guys think?!

Given that there will be no patch until blizzcon, this is not surprising.

Good find.

@Sixen: Go

BY YOUR COMMAND.

EDIT: Seems the portraits aren't in yet, but their placeholders are.

Battle.Net seems to be down; both the site and Sc2. Are they patching? In that case, we might be able to find the files.

the murloc decals are probally from Blizzcon

the worgen and goblin decals (+goblin marine and worgen marine portraits) are most likely from Cataclysm CE :)

Edit: Can probally confirm this now:
In the data editor, underthe rewards tabthere is:
Reward/EditorDescription/Decal_CE_Goblin_Terran
Reward/EditorDescription/Decal_CE_Worgen_Terran

Reward from the following FoS
Reward/EditorDescription/FeatOfStrength_Cataclysm_CE

And since goblins and worgen are the new races in Cata it's not hard to gueess which CE they come from

Also rewards the following portraits:
Reward/EditorDescription/Portrait_CE_GoblinMarine
Reward/EditorDescription/Portrait_CE_WorgenMarine (unfortunately these arent in the files yet)

Tide hunters and Murloc are from Blizzcon:
Reward/EditorDescription/Decal_BlizzCon_2010_TideHunters_Terran
Reward/EditorDescription/Decal_BlizzCon_2010_MurlocalypseNow_Protoss
Reward/EditorDescription/Portrait_BlizzCon_2010_MurlocMarine

Woah, nice find indeed. That Goblin decal is poking my interest, I'm already getting Cata CE, and that's tickling my fancy = Approved

Thanks for the confirmation, Khalan.

As an achievement lover that doesn't like WoW, I'm heavily disappointed at Cata CE giving SC2 rewards :(.

Fortunately, all the decals are pretty ugly, imo. And if this:

Is the final murloc portrait; hell, it's fugly, too.

The paths of the files never lie :P.

By the way: enter play something tomorrow, you son of a lair!

I have some nice ideas I would like to talk with you, too, btw ;).

UPDATE:

The official page has the decals and portraits up:

The worgen and the goblin portraits are cool, but I can't stand how "out of place" they feel :S.

Edit: Also:

I am. You're not :P

Meh, I don't like how much Warcraft stuff they put in Starcraft. They have like.. 2 diablo references and 40 wow gags.

@s3rius: Go

Well, i think it's good. You still get the starcraft, but the cross-references and stuff makes it really good if you play all games. Or at least WoW and SC2. Plus it gets people playing the other games cause they have some collectors edition thing in that game, so blizz won't change it :D

Quote from Kueken531: Go

Blizzard announced a Blizzard Dota map for SC2 at Blizzcon o_0. Available in Bnet like next month.

It's gonna be big fight between SC2 Dota and Valve's Dota it seems :D

By the way just a side thought, looks like Blizzard was saying "blablabla our marketplace won't accept maps like Dota" by a purpose...

Blizzards dota wont be heavily supported. IMO Its just a teaser.

League of legends is where you wanna go if you want the PURE PVP aspect of DOTA

I'm with s3erius, I want more "StarCraft-style" jokes, and less Warcraft things. I love Warcraft, but I want the franchises to be separate of each other.

Also, notice how they removed the "I was in BETA" achievement icon. I'm now sad :(. Now we have the WoW icon in its place >_<.

PS: I'm going in-game in 15 min :P.
