Blizzard is pretty well known for sneaking in little things that are easy to miss in one playthrough, so have you found any to share?
I'll start it off with one I found with Nova. Upon first taking her mission the one downside I saw was the loss of a crewmember aboard the hyperion. The mission clearly stated that Nova wouldn't join you but Tosh would stay aboard until the end of the game if you sided with him. So I was bummed about that part but I still wanted to side with Nova.
After the mission I went to the armory and I clicked on the ghost canister rifle and started reading about it. Being a slow reader payed off for me because after a little a bit Nova uncloaked for a brief few moments and was sitting on the crates that the rifle's resting on. So Nova is aboard keeping tabs on the mission or something. The only downside is one less crewmember to talk to. That's a little bit better. Thought that was a cool find.

A tauren marine enters the "box", when you reveal the area.

Not sure if that's the best place to post it but up to now I found two allusions refering to the community (spoiler ahead):
+ Show Spoiler +The "Ihaan" chrystal clearly refers to "Ee han timing; the battlecruiser going down in "Invasion of char" with the commander saying words to the effect of "Our ship has sustained TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE damage and will soon..."
|
There's no need to spoiler things, in a thread, which has "spoilers" in the title and terribleterribledamage is also a cheat code, which grants invulnerability and multiplies the damage of all your units by 10.

Night Elf dancing in Catina.

On the secret mission, when you get your extra troops, go explore north outside the building. You will see a murloc marine.

I loved that the UNN news guy says in one broadcast something along the lines of "This is UNN, bringing you *fair* and *balanced* news!"
Thought that was cute, lol.
Also the spider mines are freaking adorable. They run around and fight and climb on boxes and.... I want a plush spider mine.

Lol yeah I saw the spider mines. I waited so long for them to do it again, but they never did after the one time

Not easter eggs necessarily, just nice little touches.
The homage to Tasteless, by using the term 'Vulture Bikes' in the mission you first get them.
In the ending credits in the 'Thanks to:' bit about halfway down IIRC it says 'YOUR MOM' (yes full caps).
The 'Terrible Terrible Damage' mentioned before was also brilliant.
|
Well, not the campaign nor really funny but in the credits toward the end in the "Thanks" section it sais "YOUR MOM" with big letters, makes sense since if not I'd not be playing the game so to say.

Are spoiler tags needed for threads like this?
Spoiler reveals some storyline elements that you find out about 20 missions in:
+ Show Spoiler +The mission where the Dominion Forces are crashing on the planet and the General in his Battleship says "I've take Terrible Terrible Damage!.... pretty funny if youve seen all the battle reports 
oops, already posted, pretty funny still
|
On the mission you get to use Odin to launch a surprise attack, in the fog of war in the middle-bottom of the map there is a Science Facility - kill it. Doing so will result in a secret mission being unlocked, it's one of those no base kind of missions
|
the iRifle is by far the best commercial ever. who doesnt love a marine jiving to a beat with an iRifle by his side
|
iPistol. But yea, that ad was hilarious
|
"I love it when a plan comes together" by the dark voice after the last protoss mission.
Obvious reference to A-Team.
|
there are headlines on the bottom of the newscast that are pretty hilarious, but there are some people's names listed that I don't know who they are.
Possible Spoilers
+ Show Spoiler +
Also, in the cinematic before the last one, Raynor holds a name tag of a marine that died. Any significance of the name of the fallen marine?
