History Channel: Battle for the Pacific

The History Channel - Battle For The Pacific is a first-person shooter published by Activision, set in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It is the sequel to History Channel: Civil War - A Nation Divided and History Channel Civil War: Secret Missions
Two versions of the game exist. The Xbox 360, PS3 and PC version was developed by Cauldron, while the PS2 and Wii version was developed by FUN Labs; aside from the name, they share no similarities with each other and are otherwise entirely distinct games. As such, they will be covered in separate sections on this article.
Most of the weapon models in the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC versions of Battle For The Pacific are reused directly from Call of Duty 3, also published by Activision.
