Can someone catch me up to speed. I'm not sure who Imperius is other than another Angel. Is there another thread pertaining to this character and his story?
He's presumably the Arch-Angel of War. He also wants to destroy Sanctuary and everyone on it.
i dont see anything in that screencap, but i dont think imperius is here to destroy sanctuary or anything like that...
its more likely he is asking you to take up arms to defend sanc...
"Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens
strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world.
The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary To defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – And even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself."

Angels aren't good inherently. Angels care about their own interests. Imperius has long believed that Sanctuary should be destroyed and the human abominations purged from existence due to the demon blood they carry in them. Auriel and Tyrael prevented him from doing so, however.
It looks to me in that screencap that for that 1 frame there's a hooded figure in shining armor, and that the crest of the falling comet looks like the blade of a flaming scimitar. If you want to go biblical, it was an angel with a flaming sword that drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.
True but wouldn't the hottest part be towards the center and not the tail?
Unless you're just suggesting this is a run of the mill comet,which I doubt, then it could be minerals burning different colors. They put quite a bit of emphasis on it for it to just be a regular comet.

Or maybe the hotter flames trail from the center and then burn off? :confused:

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

They mentioned its from the "heavens", they said it's a bad omen, they've mentioned failing luminaries in heaven but they changed that recently. It's on the main into, it's in the cinematic, it's in concept art.
Here's how I see it, and I hope others do as well or maybe I'm crazy...
"meteor" falling from the sky...
Girl walks out front to see wtf is going on...
Girl runs back inside to warn Cain about wtf is going on...
Deckard Cain turns to Girl and is like wtf...
Meteor hits the Cathedral...
Girl walks to ledge of the big crater that the meteor made...
Out pops this dude...
I would like the point out that concept art for that last photo probably doesn't convey anything, especially not Tyrael looking at the angel popping out of the crater. The waves might have been the girls hair, and although the physique of that character looks like a guy, it's just a really rough sketch.

umm guys.... notice the blue around the meteor... well if that is in fact an angel in there its got to be one with blue in their wings.
tryrael's wings are more like thick white tentacles.
the other angels they have in their art work section though, they do have some blue in their wings, making them better candidates than tyrael.
wow this thread is up... its a fuckin comet... just like with the teaser stop looking for shit that isnt there... fuckin christ
once again you try to simplify things that aren't simple. Blizzard already said that yes there was a lot of stuff behind the teaser to lead to diablo and the comet was changed to harbinger of death or w/e. its clearly a living being in some angelic form, usually the most obvious hints that blizzard gives that everyone picks up on are usually right

Good work detective. Now tell us, why would Blizzard pay good money to CG-animate 'a fucking comet' and show it in announcement teaser, the first, if it's nothing?

Fire is blue when it's hotter. :rolleyes:

lol you are to cute....
the crater that "comet" caused in the teaser was minuscule compared to what a real comet would have done.

I just don't think it's just a plain comet.

That wasn't necessary at all.
They've done anything but tell us outright it's not just a comet. In both the old and new intro on the site.
If you don't like to speculate then don't, let us who have some imagination use it.
But I'm not sure if it's Tyrael.
