'''Battlestations: Pacific''' is the sequel to [[Battlestations: Midway]]. Unlike Midway, Pacific is designed to run on high-performance PCs, so a computer capable of running Midway may not be able to run Pacific.

The community at large remains divided, with some claiming that its spirit has lost since Midway - citing particularly the aircraft automatically replenishing their weapons (though this can be toggled on and off) and semi-automatic aiming that proved controversial with many well-established players. Others cite the positives and maintain that the game is a success.

By May 2010 the game's multiplayer was rather sparsely populated, and has not been updated since Version 1.2 in 2009.  However, the Xbox 360 version of the game was offered as a free download to Xbox live gold members from September 1–15, 2015 as part of Microsoft's "games with gold" program, resulting in a resurgence in online play, with dozens of servers active at any given time.

A single player demo was released for Battlestations Pacific, featuring three maps: [[Battlestations: Pacific/Divine Winds of Leyte|Divine Winds of Leyte]], a Siege Mode map, and an Island Capture map. Neither the Xbox 360 nor the PC version demos have multiplayer functionality, nor do they have a method of saving controls, meaning the saves would be lost upon shutting down the game.
