Play CoD the right way
Call of Duty: World at War – Pacific Theater Mod is a free video game utility that properly revamps the Pacific missions of popular action game, Call of Duty: World at War. Developed by FeReise, this mod aims to make your playthroughs more authentic by sticking closely to historical facts about the battles and the equipment and gear that the NPCs should be using. This mod is compatible with the co-op mode and other similar mods.
Education in history
Call of Duty: World at War is a 2008 first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch. It is the fifth main installment of the Call of Duty series, the first title in the Black Ops storyline, and returns the setting to World War II. The story here focuses on the Pacific and Eastern Front theaters of WWII—and while it can sometimes deviate from historical facts, that tends to break the immersion for some fans.
Fortunately, mods allow history enthusiasts to help make things more historically accurate. Pacific Theater Mod focuses on improving the Pacific missions of the game. Much of the changes are on the visuals and models. The uniforms and outfits by both players and NPCs have been recreated based on official historical photographs, documentaries, and such—and not even the accessories were spared. The variation of available weapons at the time was also carefully selected.
The level of consideration that the developer and the community took when altering incorrect models is astounding, to say the least. Not only were the textures replaced, but they would sometimes be enhanced, as well. It’s only too bad that the weapon sound effects are still inaccurate. This mod is also quite tricky to install so you have to carefully read its instructions or else something might break.
Real dedication
Overall, Call of Duty: World at War – Pacific Theater Mod is highly recommended for history fans who are tired of seeing the CoD series incorrectly use certain equipment in certain time periods. While its audio is still not right, the graphics have been greatly improved and the mod is compatible with the developer’s other mods that focus on the other missions of the game.
