If you look at the source code of the splash page you get the following:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="false" />
<link media="screen, projection" href="http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/master.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon" />
<title>Blizzard Entertainment</title>
</head>

<body>
<div class="clickthru">
<div class="link">
<a href="index.xml">Continue to World of Warcraft.com</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="icefield" onclick="window.location.href='index.xml'">
<a href="http://www.blizzard.com/"><!----></a>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<a onclick="window.open(this.href);return false" href="http://www.blizzard.com/us/legalfaq.html">&copy;2008 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. All rights reserved.</a>

</div>
</body>
</html>

The 5th line down you see: <link media="screen, projection" href="http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/master.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

If you follow that link it will lead you to the css code and the commented image.

One of the items commented out of the code was this (/*.tundra {background:url(_images/04.jpg) no-repeat 0 0} */ )

You can view this image by going to http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg

Any ideas?

That screen is certainly something cartoony, hence, its warcraft :/

The first one was .tundra, the second one is .cavern

Frozen Tundra
Drifter Cavern

Both are icy places in act 5. With the new patch (without any visible gameplay changes) lining up with the teaser images, should someone check out those areas in act 5 just in case if they have programmed more clues into D2? :) Or am I going crazy already.. Hehe, I'm thinking of breaking down the new version of tristram music and see if I find something like a morse code there :)

I like about as much as I liked the dashow site purple walrus. That the runes will be evenly spaced around the opening in the ice is a natural assumption, there's no discernible connection between them and the ancient concept of 5 "elements," or that and any blizzard games, and throwing in a pentacle adds nothing to the argument, other than perhaps exciting some wiccans.

Still, it's fun to speculate, eh?

Obviously Captain Planet is going to come out of the pentagram.

not a pentacle--its a pentagram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram)

a pentacle is something different

I think the opening in the ice will stop RIGHT NEXT of those runes.

And then the pentagram will be fully shown and with it, Diablo III with all it's glory. \o/

Hahaha Captain planet would be a surprise. and he could be the purple cartoon if his skin has been in toxic waste or something changing it from green to purple.

Anyhoo: anyone else tired, but planning on staying up till midnight for the new image? :-D

5th Element.....

1 - Immune To Fire
2 - Immune To Cold
3 - Immune To Lightning
4 - Immune To Poison
5 - Immune To Magic

OBVIOUSLY, there are 5 elements in Diablo, not 4 :). You forgot about the "magic" (blessed hammer, necro bone magics).

Hmmm... So they all show that Diablo can't die! xD (I'm dying and desperate T_T)
