Probably just to emphasize on the world at the time. Many battles fought, many lost. The sword in the ground just represents this I would imagine. No one is taking up arms to combat the evil.
Although it could just mean that the sword is there waiting to get taken out of the ground by a worthy hero (you, the player) and take the fight to the evil itself. Meh.
yay im with that one makes most sense
btw after watching and comparing the movies
they used the same model for tyreal's sword that they did the opening for D1 xD
but it is still incorrect to say that sword is tyreal's sword since what i quoted above was what that sword meant in diablo 1
while that sword in diablo 2 meant a whole different thing all together =3
but in a manner of what the ppl meant ya tyreal's sword model is the opening sword from D1
it looks pretty much the same as the one in the cinamatic
o and make sure you try it on single player
its against blizzards user agreement to use cheats on battle net lol
ps. after much research the diablo sword doesnt exist lore wise lol but it is a hacked item someone actually made for diablo 1 that looks like the sword from the intro =3
it got duped a couple hundred times and distributed on battlenet at some point getting confused as an actual item

look under diablo items
if you put it in your file in diablo 1 using a hack program you can see diablo's sword a hacked item =3
also looks pretty similar to the cinematic =3

go get a diablo 1 hack program
and look at diablo's sword
it looks pretty much the same as the one in the cinamatic

and from what i remember it was a broad sword
thats what i think it was
i dont think it was tyreal's since he was only a concept at the time lol
plus it shows the sword as bad things start to happen down in the dungeons
so to me without a doubt its diablo's sword from the only set in diablo 1 lol
