Pandemic Studios: Containing an Outbreak

[zephrameliasfoster]

EA can suck my balls

[strykertron232]

Battlefront 2 was a god game without a doubt

[BlueCaliSurfing]

The more and more I watch "All Your History", The more I hate EA....

[BlueCaliSurfing]

Stop saying "cleverly titled"!!!! there's nothing clever about it! You say it in almost every episode.

[xXFr0sty67Xx]

my childhood also hurts...... my favorite games(other than red dead redemption) were made by pandemic.... mercenaries one was amazing! screw bf3... in this game, you can actually take down full buildings! destroy all humans 2 was also amazing and hilarious! way funnier than gta.....crypto....ur my hero....... fuck u ea fuck u

[Sweeeedee]

If you dont alredy, follow Tuggiegamereviews on youtube, he makes battlefront updates every other week or so about battlefront 3 and how he thinks spark unlimited its making it. Almost everything he says is very believable, so maby EA didnt fuck our childhood afterall...

[TopSecretName95]

I was hoping they'd make this.

[guess90210]

My childhood... It hurts... Im still gonna wait for the announcement of battlefront 3 even though its probably not gonna happen.

[NanoSuitUser059]

@guess90210 Go to thesparkunlimited website and read their unannounced titles, or follow tuggie game reviews on youtube. Also, copy and paste all three of these links in the search bar. /watch?v=q818Y1qmOf8 and /watch?v=eDOv96K5Cm4 and /watch?v=j81I_-uaOqg You can find animations and screenshots all over youtube and the internet as well.

[BOGnz]

@guess90210 amen

[SecretNinjaSociety]

I hate it when Brisbane is pronounced Bris-bane, even though thats how its spelt, we pronounce it Bris-bin, I don't know why, but it just frustrates me when its pronounced as its spelt, which to be honest makes sense. I was brought up with it being pronounced Bris-bin so it feels wrong hearing it as Bris-bane. Sorry. (:

[alexzinger123]

moral of the story? EA ARE ASS HOLES!!

[BloodScorchedSun]

god Mercs 2 was horrible nothing like the first. Lotro conquest was ok for a multiplayer game wish theyd put out a new battlefront

[ManitasArriba]

I still have Battlezone 2, I played it when I was 6 :D

[FreestylaBoy]

EA = Evil Assholes

[pokemonizkooolio]

If i start a studio and ea buys it, im gonna leave.

[xMustacheMasterx]

EA ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Y U NO MAKE BATTLEFRONT 3?????

[CSSmegaBGplayer]

Just listen to this bullshit they FUCKING shut down pandemic studious and hired PLAYFISH,PLAY FISH WHAT THE FUCKING HELL? IMAGINE if they weren't shut down Mercaneries 3 saboteur 2,battlefront 3 and other great games from pandemic FUCK YOU EA FUCK YOU!

[fenderguy0982]

I say we destroy EA, resurrect Pandemic, and make Battlefront 3.

[IDONTKNOW1072]

I STILL PLAY BATTLEFRONT 2 ON MY PS2

[DrGreg1758]

Battlefront 2... Such an amazing game.

[RageDonkey7]

ea has fucked over many companys like bethesda and there ass raping bioware as we speak .there probably gonna fuck up viseral (deadspace) .they literally repeat the exact same games every year and people are so retarded to buy it

[TheTastyPineapple]

@RageDonkey7 ea dont fuck up bioware, bioware fuck up bioware

[wayloski]

Also anyone remember Pandemic had Indiana Jones and Han Solo as hidden characters in Mercenaries 1? :)

[wayloski]

Mercenaries and Star Wars Battlefront were two of my favorite games on the original Xbox. Battlefront 2 was my jam! Original Xbox had the best SW games. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, Battlefront 1 and 2, and SW Jedi Knight Academy were all excellent. Knight Academy was one of my favorite online games. I met a close net group of guys and we'd get together to fight in massive lightsaber online arena battles. Everyone would form a circle while two fought in the middle.

[MyNinoslav]

FUCK YOU EA YOU MOTHERFUCKING SCUM!!! FIRST YOU DESTROY C&C AND WESTWOOD AND THEN PANDEMIC!!! FUCK YOU!!!

[mastercalle]

Guys, whitout EA, star wars: battlefront would NOT exist and pandemic would not have anything. So guys, EA made a mistake, so what?

[mastercalle]

Shut up guys, ok? EA is really good, making some of the best games today, yes, pandemic was really good, and EA made a mistake, but EA makes the games better.

[Vectoreenio]

BattleFront 2 is my favorite game ever.

[SMGClanx]

And then lucasarts decided the best move was to give Battlefront to Rebellion. Cos they had a good reputation. Sigh.

[tweakedculture1]

EA is terrible. Idk how they think it's "good" to close down such a good studio. Wtf ea.

[yngwiemalmsteenrocks]

i LOVE battlefront

[PumaRxStudios]

Fuck ea PandemicStudios made great games

[ImHereForPie]

Goddamn you EA! why must you kill the companies we love!

[LowerHornProductions]

EA you are fucking retarded and by the way its pronounced Bris-bin not Bris-bane

[Th3Fr33Burd]

I want a Mercs 3 soo bad.. I still play the second one for PS3 even though I've beaten it soo many times

[AnnoyingFr0g]

F**K you EA!

You destroy all that is good in this world of gaming! We all HATE you!

I realy wanted LotR conquest to be a good game and you RUINED IT!

[TheNeutual]

Fuck EA

[general3dill1]

WHY THE FUCK DID EA JUST BUY IT OUT AND THEN SHUT IT DOWN WHAT THE FUCK

[IneptGuard]

RIP Pandemic.

[Kuoin]

When Pandemic got shutted down i was like T_T

[MrAmaizin]

Why does EA always have to rush greatness that is just stuped?

[lookitsmyvideo]

Please Santa, all I want for Christmas is Battlefront 3 by Pandemic. Pweeeeeseeee

[TheTier12345]

At least ubisoft doesn't run studios into the ground so we can hope for more assassin's creed and splinter cell

[Jimmy26700]

fuck!now who will make the Saboteur 2?!

[experssion123]

@Jimmy26700 who will make star wars battlefront 3

[GingerAdam94]

I f I had the money I would so get these guys back up and running... too bad I dont have a couple of million lying around :(

To Pandemic! one of the greatest game developers there ever was!

[TheIndoCommentor]

Pandemic should make another studio and call it "The Aftermath" or whatever. And it should be a PRIVATE company, not getting bought out by EA or Activison. LucasArts, probably....

[clone150]

We will just have to put our trust into Spark Unlimited for SWBF3 now.... They are our only hope lolz

[wookiefable]

stange Pronunciation on brisbane i really love star wars battlefront always enjoyed the first more then second though COME ON EA MAKE A 3RD SWBF

[mrtoofour1]

Those ea bastards!!!

[martixbg]

Ok, what's with the recurring "cleverly titled ... 2/3/..."???

[GigoloJustaGigolo]

EA can go suck a million dicks.

[ahindat2]

thanks EA for star wars battlefront 3...

[colinmcom14]

They had some of the best games on PS2, EA is a dick.

[Mrplatt2]

OMG this makes me so angry....EA is a piece of shit, shutting down all the sweet studios like visceral and pandemic...i shed a tear for battlefront 3

[Wrestlingthemeremix]

WHY GAME DEVELOPERS NO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU WORK WITH ACTIVISION OR EA BAD STUFF WILL HAPPEN!

[AcidRain371]

@Wrestlingthemeremix Yet there is where all the money they need to make the games.

[Blode4]

I remember playing the shit out of Star Wars: Battlefront. If only there could be a third one :(

[mettwurst01]

now i totaly get it ... the Saboteur is the live story of Pandemic, the nazi = EA and the Saboteur = Pandemic ... think about it!

[MrDarktwister]

EA sucks, let me tell you what good compaies still remain in it.... Nope, can't think of anything.

[HaggKid]

@MrDarktwister DICE :D

[james65508]

EA can kiss my ass >:/ they do not have the right to shut down other company's

[gamedexterity]

I hope EA doesn't fuck over DICE™

[nl3paul3nl]

Need Battlefront 3.

[james65508]

@nl3paul3nl I agree with you 100%

[vision654]

I have played almost all of the games mentioned... they were all F**KING AMAZING! Why is EA allowed to destroy great game studios with just a snap of their greedy fingers? They forced pandemic to fail by not working on their strengths, sigh. I never thought I'd say this.... I like Activision more then EA, cause although Activision are greedy ass holes, there not greedy assholes that shut down Pandemic

[privateD4L]

I want battlefront 3

[TheLev112]

I think think battlefront might be my favorite game of all time, ever

[drdreshugemuscle]

AHHHh!!!!! FUCKING EA!!! SALADUS BAISE TUÉ PANDEMIE!

[DXIbroninjaXD]

Fuck you EA you're no better than Activision >:(

[dizitei]

@DXIbroninjaXD Atleast activision is only greed of money not destroying as many companys as possible

[BandoilerrMiDGeT750]

EA I will take you down ingle handeling for what you done.Your all a bunch of megolomaniacs.Even through I play a couple of your games.You took down a small legend

[Tomio2664]

I have so many great memories Battlefront and mercenaries ... :'(

[XxGurSorzxX]

Mercenaries Best game they made. just saying

[PepsiACan]

DESTROY ALL HUMANS!

[52wse]

Mercenaries FTW!

[MrSantiago485]

the battlefront series is the best 3rd person shooter EVER made

[tsj5ka]

lol its pronounced bris-bun, not bris- bane, just constructive criticism :)

[darkknight12348]

FUCK YOU EA JUST FUCK YOU!



[ExtremeGamer9951]

EA. RUINING C&C, PANDEMIC AND MANY MORE COMPANYS. WHEN WILL IT STOP.

[Arkains10]

i am sorry but you are asking a studio to fail whenever a publisher tells them exactly what game to make...

[v94j]

Destroy all humans was probely one of the most fun games iv ever played... <3

[ExtremeGamer9951]

@v94j I still havent played wrath of the furon. I need to get it ASAP.

[Akslol]

R.I.P Pandemic :(

[newkhmer4ever]

WHY WHY WHY !!!!!!!!!!! MAKE MORE DESTROY ALL HUMANS SEIRES

[MrMoko282]

i cant believe they were shut down :(. the merc's series was one of my favorite of all time :( :(

[MGetman91]

Probably between starwars battlefront1&2,Mercenaries, and destory all humans I must have logged in about 2,400 hrs collectively. FUCK YOU EA BRING BACK OUR BELOVED PANDEMIC YOU FUCKERS

[ACDCGUY5]

i fucking love star wars battlefront 1

[DMCerizo]

Pandemic will never die.

[TheGreatestBee]

DAMN YOU EA FOR SHUTTING DOWN THOSE THAT MADE ME INTO A GAMER OF YOUR STUFF... WHY DOES BOTH ACTIVISION AND EA HAVE TO BE SUCH DICKS AT TIMES!

[scarface1995boy130]

nooooooo...... merc 3 and star wars battlefront 3 im forever alone!

[MrMoko282]

@scarface1995boy130 acually, there making a merc 3. its gunna be called merc's inc. but it wont be the same without pandemic :(

[scarface1995boy130]

noooooooo...... i wanted merc 3 or star wars battlefront 3!!!

[CascadeZ]

E can lick my left nut and A can taste my right

[heimencnc1996]

R.I.P Pandemic. Though you're long gone now, we will still remember you always, Rest In Peace my friend.

[Tearonex]

I love all the Pandemic games, im going to miss the battlefront days, even though they couldn't compete with cod or battlefeild they were some of the most fun i ever had while playing a shooter

[Renegado140]

First Westwood and now Pandemic....wow EA way to fuck up everything

[TheUnknown00000000]

EA are the stupidest publishers in the world!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

[floydstephman]

on time and on budget 2 phrasses that seem to spell doom to games

[zxamike]

EA SUCKS BALLS :P i loved all pandemics games (never played the real war one) so i was like WHAT T_T pandemic i still love you ^_^

[SpitFir3Tornado]

EA needs to screw off with the buyouts and then commanding people to basically allow their companies to slowly die.

[PS3Commentator]

so basically we will maybe never see another battlefront fml

[A7Xrage62]

Ea damn you to hell

[FurryBadger1]

so no SWBF3??

[mrkingkyle200]

@FurryBadger1 SWBF3 already came out but under a differant devoloper and on the PSP.

[FurryBadger1]

@mrkingkyle200 thats elite squadron not the same

[FurryBadger1]

@mrkingkyle200 that is elite squadron, not the same:(

[MrJermy]

@mrkingkyle200 Dumbass

[jaspergaffney]

fuck you EA

[grievousownz]

Battlefront 3 would've been released had those EA douchebags not closed down Pandemic. This only furthers my hatred for big name publishers.

[rockinsparzy105]

Pandemic Studios was one of the companies I wanted to work for. Guess that's never going to happen. :'(

[TheGreatEpicosity]

Destroy all humans. ;)

[d3lta42]

this made me wanna cry at the end

[TheNecronLord666]

Goddamit EA...

[TheBlueArcane]

This series is CLEVERLY TITLED.

[morpDprime]

And nothing of value was lost... c'mon the majority of the games they made were mediocre. Pandemic was the c and b average student in a class full of scholars.

[Gibbagobba]

Puplishers are all parasites.

[OleUndAl]

Destroy All Humans are by far one of my favorite, if not complete favorite, Ps-2 game I have ever played.

[dwahuntur]

and this is why we dont get battlefront 3 :(

[PixturePerfectPro]

If only Microsoft Game Studios had acquired them, then there could be a Halo version of Battlefront :P

[gytisxp64]

E.A. Is like the Nazis and Soviets of the world.

[obiewankenobie3]

r.i.p pandemic

[RentedH1tm4nBen]

i have mercs 2 awsome game you have to buy it f**k ea ITS A REALY AWSOME GAME you have to buy iy, you will buy it

[Halestormed]

Pandemic made some great games, it's a shame a couple of flops brought them down. At least The Saboteur was an enjoyable final title.

[TheClumsyRainbow]

EA and Activision always wants the money. They only put they're trust in big sellers such as CoD and Bf3. It pisses me off how great developers get wiped out just because the didn't make enough money for their publisher.

[TheRealBlackHawk]

i miss battlezone it was a great game, too bad i will never see it again :(

[MrGenericplaya]

am i the only one remembering these games having better graphics

[number0IX]

Note: to self don't sign things with EA or Activision if successful in future

[CHIPSYLAR]

Sooooo does this mean no more Star Wars Battle Front 3!!! :(

[Robster881]

@CHIPSYLAR it was announced ages ago that Battlefront 3 had been cancelled

[CHIPSYLAR]

@Robster881 that sucks thanx for the feedback :)

[RedEyedBlackWolf]

I fucking hate EA. so they buy out a campany give them crazy expected finishing dates then shut them down... why the fuck didnt they just leave them alone., fucking ea how many games have been rushed because of them huh?

[BDtetra]

Mercenaries 1 was awesome... But 2 had too much a horrible plot for me to enjoy

[Th3Fr33Burd]

@0320steven I STILL play mercenaries 2 for ps3 because it is basically the final breath of mercenaries. they were gonna make one in Cuba (although the end said India) but it sadly never fell through :( I like EA but they should have kept Pandemic afloat

[cloneunit314]

Fuck EA, you know what? it doesn't even deserve capitol letters, ea killed pandemic, hence killing Mercenaries, while, yes, the second game was not as good as the first, it was rushed out! Mercs 3 could have been fucking AMAZING! but no. on the other hand, crysis, mass effect, and battlefield are all awesome, but i, too, believe they will screw it up somehow

[CascadeZ]

@cloneunit314 well crysis 2 was garbage, and IMO mass effect 2 just didnt hit the bullseye like ME1 did

[0320steven]

you forgot to say that they were working on Mercinaries 3 but was cancelled!

[TheRedbillybob]

fuck yeah battlefront

[PhishTaco9]

brisbaine... you said it wrong, its pronounced bris-bn

[YouAdmireThisName]

So if i'm correct this all sprung from the batman Game fault? IT'S EA'S FAULT THEY LOST ALL THAT MONEY! THEY COULD'VE GOTTEN OFF THEIR LAZY ASSES AND FUCKING SAID " We need you to make a movie tie-in game" AND ON TOP OF THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT MOVIE-TIE IN GAMES SUCK! ALL OF THEM! IF THEY HAD SAID THEY NEEDED A MOVIE TIE IN GAME FROM THE START, FIRING PANDEMIC WOULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED! AND ON TOP OF THAT, I WOULD BE MORE INTERESTED IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THAT BATMAN GAME THAN THE ONE EA WANTED!

[PlayMaker814]

How come I've never known of LOR Conquest!

[ReachForTheHalo]

@PlayMaker814 You were too busy playing Battlefront.

[haters123]

EA and Activision should fucking die. Especially activision. Forcing a "new" COD title EVERY FUCKING YEAR FOR LITTLE KIDDIE CONSOLE GAMERS. It's not new. It's the same fucking shit.

[Radioactive1080z]

I refuse to play a destroy all humans or battlefront game if pandemic didn't make it, they should be brought back!

[XDmarcsyoXD]

DAMN EA, pandemic studios was one of the best; if anything, pandemic should be firing EA!

[zcoolguy123]

I'm surprised army man RTS wasn't "cleverly titled"

[HappyMilkCartonHD]

If EA was a person...man oh man...I would totally write a strongly worded letter to that moron...Then while he's reading it cut his throat and fuck the wound. What? Too much?

[iUSAirsoft]

Everyones against EA even though they have gotten alot better. At least they don't rip apart successful companies like Activision did with Infinity Ward.

[ds16653]

Brisbayne? Brisbayne??? It's Brisbane you morons!! (pronouned Brisbin (kind of)) Why am I yet to meet a single american to say it properly???

[supercow9001]

I HATE YOU EA.

[Shinugami]

@supercow9001 The more I watch this series the more it seems that what was my favorite publisher, EA, might very well be a fun-killing, power-hungry, bitchmonkey.

[Artifex9989]

@Shinugami EA was really bad years ago, but now they have really improved. They are definitely much better than Activision.

[KILLERREZ666]

@supercow9001 EA A.K.A. Evil Assholes

[supercow9001]

I miss pandemic. Destroy all humans, battlefront, everything they made was good.

They are second awesomest company next to valve

[MrHollywood9111]

Anyone remember Neversoft YOU know the one with the Stick in the eye.

[HaggKid]

@MrHollywood9111 Oh my god, they made the Tony Hawk games. The good ones. The BEST ones.

I would still play Underground 2 instead of Skate. Fuck realism, I want some awesome arcade fun.

[MrHollywood9111]

@HaggKid Neversoft got shut down after Project 8 But lets all agree Tony Hawk games were the best games of that time.

[MasterADG1]

@MrHollywood9111 I was just thinking they should do Neversoft the other day.

[NickyboyTheGreat]

@MrHollywood9111 did they make the tony hawk underground games

[smileyking96]

@MrHollywood9111 Tony hawk games awwwwww yeah!

[MrHollywood9111]

EA nazi?More like VEVO!

[MrJJ4000]

Star Wars Battlefront 2 was absolutely amazing!

[TheValkyrieful]

EA sucks ass, only good game they have is battlefield  but they gonna fuck it up someday!

[tyman16105]

@TheValkyrieful EA Doesn't create those games they are the owners of the production company who created it, Dice and Battlefield were the creators.

[shadowlinkplayer]

@TheValkyrieful So your saying Crysis, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age are not good games? I do agree though, that they will probabley fuck up another great franchsie.

[myshcoolaccount]

because EA Destroy all humans 3 sucked :(

[MRDAXX14]

@myshcoolaccount EA didnt have anything too do with the 3rd DAH

[myshcoolaccount]

@MRDAXX14 yhea but panademic wasnt alive for DAH 3 because of ea

[TheRetroZombie]

Fuck EA. I'll torrent their games!

[fukkinmuppit]

You pronounce Brisbane so funnily.

[dakotasgame]

i hated ea for shutting down pandemic but when mass effect 2 and battlefield bad company 2 i loved them

[sepnot]

god damn it! i want a new destroy all humans :(

[bart666a]

NO star wars BATTLEFRONT 3!!!!!!??????!

[brbjuke45]

thanks alots EA, you F**CKIN A**H*LES, and i feel bad, i never heard of the company. i heard of the games ut not played them

[oxGAMERPROxo]

pandemic was an awsome develper :( fuck ea

[Actionheroz617]

@oxGAMERPROxo You Dont Make No Fucking Sence Pandemic is EA DipShit!

[oxGAMERPROxo]

@Actionheroz617 no pandemic was baught by EA asshole
