Starcraft 2 Rewarding Gamers With Achievements, Art, Ranks

As we finally get closer to the release of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty we are hearing a lot more details about the new Battle.net 2.0. With the increasing obsession with achievements and rewards for playing games (aside from the game itself), Battle.net will be catering to gamers desire to show off.

Achievements and decals top the rewards list, with ways to show off said rewards through new profile pages (as shown above). Players will be able to check their ranks against the masses, and track which games they've played and won the most. The achievements in this case reward you with a point value for just about everything under the sun, including a load of achievements covering the comp-stomp co-op in the game.
