The truly sad thing is that this was back when the History channel was actually a good channel that actually had to do with history and not aliens or Bigfoot or ice road truckers
Bigfoot being an ice road trucker from outer space is a part of history.
They're gonna get ya if you keep spreading the truth like that man
Nah, it was just the Hitler channel back then, couldn't get enough of him.
@@austinm.9832 Let's put it this way............. Around the time of season 1 of ice road truckers.
The last cool thing that I absolutely fell in love with on the History channel was a special on Bruce Lee showing how the influenced multiple parts of media and work out gear sports and so forth
Hey nobody talks s*** about ice road truckers
The PS2 version of this game was totally different. The single player campaign had no AI squad teammates or friendly soldiers, only in a few cutscenes but never seen in gameplay. Every mission was some kind of solo infiltration or sabotage. And every level had the same damn "Basic somber WWII documentary music" song playing on a loop.
It was hard as fuck too felt creepy being all lone
Sounds extremely similar to "WW2 Combat: Iwo Jima" then.
Bro I remember I couldn’t shoot down the planes in the first mission
I was unfortunate to play the Wii port of the PS2 version. Probably the worst game I've ever played in my life... and I've played Gods & Generals.
The gun doesn't even move on-screen with the Wii remote and cursor.
These history channel guys make great games. They should consider making some TV shows.
wdy mean
theyre the one who made breaking bad
@@Amber_Valentine they also made Game of Thrones
They need to make what if america and soviet union cold war in SPACE
You should check out Lord of the Rings, they did a great job on it
Ever heard of Star Wars? They were great at making those before Disney bought them.
I remember asking for this game on the 360 when I was a wee lad because I (stupidly) thought that this was gonna be like Call of Duty, but more grounded and focused on actively teaching the player about the pacific theatre of WW2, which was a pretty rare setting for WW2 shows/movie/games at the time.
One of the sergeants screaming at the top of their lungs "YOU WILL FOLLOW ME AND THIS IS AN ORDER!" constantly on loop the picosecond I stepped 5 feet away from their clapping ass cheeks is when I realized what I got myself into.
You just unlocked a childhood memory for me
This was me with Burnout Paradise since I tougth it would be good as Takedown
At least we got COD World At War a year later to make up for it.
@@TheEmolano loved that game as a kid
PS2 version was a different and better game tho
I can’t tell what’s worse the fact that this game looks better than Vanguard or that UA-cam thinks you’re playing World at War
Vanguard is pretty good i havent played it yet just looked at videos of it (edit best modern cod game ive played) oh ive made up my mind bad
Vanguard looks like a very good MW 2019 mod
There is something off with the looks (ignoring the complete lack of voice sync)
game looks like it has more soul than vanguard
@@R_trigger1344 Liar
@@mattynek2 I honestly think its pretty fun. I like the gunplay and the movement, and its an arcade shooter so historical accuracy doesn't matter. Pretty good game.
I played the hell out of the Civil War game they made back in school, I also scored high on my essay I made about the Civil War using parts of the history documentary’s shown in game and also the text walls before each mission.
Games can be very educational. I hate when people slander games because "they make you lose focus" . I've learned more playing games than in a history class. Probably because I had a clueless tutor.
I learned how to read when I was a kid by playing RuneScape
My middle school history teacher gave me extra credit if I gave her my stats for completing one of the levels
This game is more historically accurate than Vanguard.

Not a single ACOG in sight!
Vanguard isn't supposed to be accurate
@@Geeler then why is it being marketed as a ww2 game? it has little to do with ww2 let alone anything historical
@@aco9880 it's like a art style, call of duty is a arcade shooter, not a realistic shooter. Why tf is there cat girls in modern warfare and trained operators running around and sliding all the time? It's not realistic.
Playing a game called Battle for the Pacific...
"Oh here's the D-Day level"
How to tell everyone you are a avid History Channel watcher AND Gamer without saying you are.
The "D-Day Level" for COD World At War was "Little Resistance," which was infinitely better than this one.
"D-Day" was a term the US gave for all of their amphibious landings, not just Normandy. The Normandy landings just so happen to be the largest, so naturally they are referred to as "the" D-Day.
... But we stormed beaches in the pacific too... Theyre just not as notorious as D day

I was wondering why all of this felt so familiar until I noticed it: This is uses the same assets as Soldier of Fortune: Payback did. The "ironsight" aiming is the same as are the animations for the 1911 and the HUD elements. Sound effects are reused. It shares a lot of sound effects (and maybe more) with Operation Flashpoint as well. Man Bohemia Interactive really made the most of their pre-made assets.
Actually this game was technically developed by a studio called Cauldron, which was from Bratislava, Slovakia. Also, yes, they basically reused the same game engine and all its assets when they pumped out their titles. This includes Civil War, Battle For The Pacific, Soldier Of Fortune Payback, Secret Service, Jurassic The Hunted, and Cabella's Big Game Hunting.
@@NexusKin Oh yeah, you're right. I think I mixed them up since I've seen the assets all over the place. Now that you mention it, I remember the Cabela games as well. Funniest games I've ever seen after a mate mentioned "Those weird Call of Duty hunting games"
@@NexusKin jurassic the hunted was such dumb fun
It’s got call of duty 3 us soldier character assets
Listen up Marines, intel has it Riverwood Trader's Golden Claw is somewhere in this cave. Be advised Arvel the Swift is in the AO and may have secured the claw for himself. Hope you aren't afraid of frostbite spiders, hoorah.

5:51 Fuck it, i'll be that guy.
The only games that have a mid-clip reload animation for the Garand (which is correct, unlike this game) are:
- Battlefield Bad Company 2
- Battlefield V
- COD WAW
- COD WW2
- COD Vanguard
- Day of Infamy
- Fallout New Vegas (yes)
- Hell Let Loose
- Insurgency Sandstorm
- Post Scrotum
- Rising Storm
- Rising Storm 2
These at least are the ones that stick out. Literally every single WW2 game other than the ones that I've listed have the non-reloadable-unless-emptied mechanic this game have
Post Scrotum lmao
You forgot Brothers in Arms
@@itsthomas2986 was about to say it
Tbf technically m1 Garland could it was just slow(idk like maybe 3-5 seconds to get the clip out not including reloading)
Enlisted also has one.
Not being unable to reload the garand unless you’re out of ammo has always never made sense, especially when there’s the en bloc clip ejection button on the left side of the receiver.
A lot of older games do this because of how time consuming it would be to animate the extra reload animation, not to mention the lack of that distinctive “ping” when manually ejecting the en bloc
@@Skiivin makes a lot of sense for the older games like COD II
@@Skiivin Medal of Honor Allied Assault had this too. They added the possibility to bash enemies with all weapons' stocks in the expansions, but never the feature of reloading mid-magazine. There's even a letter from Col. Hargrove where he says you "have to empty your Garand before reloading it."
The first game where being able to actually reload in this way that struck me was CoD WaW. Your character presses the correct button on the side of the rifle and pulls back the lever, then reloads the new clip.
you can load individual bullets to top up too but i think that's even harder
Two double negatives in a sentence, well done my man
World at war on a budget
Pretty much, and somehow even more linear and restrictive.
i'm suprised that these history channel games are actually historically accurate and not some alien BS
kinda disappoint ngl
If you think 3 union soldiers charging downhill towards 5 confederate soldiers represents gettysburg accurately then boy are they accurate
this game is a masterpiece
I would pay big bucks to play The History Channel's Confederates vs. Aliens
History, Hitler, Hurr
This game was entirely different on the PS2. It had a whole different story line where you were going on solo missions and was honestly less janky somehow. The gunplay was abysmal and the enemies were bullet sponges, but they at least would not ragdoll everywhere. It looked worse graphically though, obviously. Also, am I the only one who noticed that the US soldier models look very similar to the ones in Call of Duty 3? I think they were ripped from that game - they literally still have the 29th Infantry Division arm patches (which is a division that did not fight in the Pacific).
Dude, I totally had this game growing up. And those civil war games. Please, keep playing my B-rate childhood games!
I had those games as well. My dad got them for the PS2 when I was young
I remember playing this game, and it was the shit when I was younger
*D-rate
The civil war secret missions was a work of art
The civil war game was amazing!
How is it possible that they got this game more historically accurate than Vanguard and BFV? Crazy
I mean, this game is a year older than Cod WaW so it was made during a time when non-binary genders weren't a big thing and women in historical games was a rarity.
@@imgvillasrc1608 dude non binary people have been around longer then you have been alive pal
@@vibewave5138 Has non-binary gender politics been a serious thing during 2007? No. That's what I was referring to.
Because they weren't trying to pander to every single SJW orientation back then. The gameplay was kinda subpar, but at least the graphics, controls and historical authenticity were pretty good.
This game was so intense I almost had a heated Pewku moment
Ngl, doesn’t seem THAT bad. Just needs more player health
None of the history channel FPSs are hat bad. They’re actually pretty fun novelties of shooters and cool for history buffs like me.
I actually like the history Chanel games
Interesting thing to note, one of a few games on the awful Soldier of Fortune 3 engine
And without gore.
There a lot of shovelware games employing that engine.
Hi piggo
@@kristof6285 hello
@@-hind-828 Must have been really cheap to license, especially after how bad the original was.
This is surreal, in 2008, my parents got me this alongside WAW in an effort to make me more “historically aware” of the “real stories” with my PS3…WAW ended up being far more authentic…after finding a massive distrust in mainstream history channels and their agendas in historical broadcasting, I actually ended up doing War Studies at King’s College London…I’m now studying for my second masters degree with them…this is an absolute trip of a game but I guess I’m thankful to it?? 😅
Still a virgin though
This game was actually pretty fun tbh. I mean, for a wii shooter, it was decent.
Edit: Apparently it came out for PS2, PS3, and Windows. But why play those when you can play the best version ;)
wii
It was a WHAT
@@mr.psycho_the_nerd5790 Yea, it was a wii and xbox 360 game. I own the wii edition, and while the controls are clunky, its still good fun.
@@boll2.094 the 360 version is actually quite expensive for a 360 game from that era

Jesus I remember playing these History Channel games. My dad and I are really into history, and he saw these games when he went to the store and bought them thinking we'd have fun playing them. Mistakes were made.
Your impression of the “History channel WW2 guy” is LITERALLY spot on
Still more historically accurate than battlefield 5 or vanguard
almost like this game is meant to be and neither of the other ones were
Lol ik right

@@Yerrrr7899 same jok pasted 202002 times
I played these alongside Medal of Honor and Call of Duty while those were in their infancy, and the History Channel wanted to put their skin in the Historical WW2 FPS action.
The garand can reload without emptying the mag its just slower to do so.
yep
Funnily enough, Black Ops 3 added a Garand that works on a "full mag dump to eject the stripper clip" system.
But highly discouraged unless for cleaning purposes
@@peternehemiah1606 no... there is a button on the side of the reciever that will pop the clip out. just press it and load in a new clip.
Actually not being able to reload the Garand is just a myth, you can you just gotta hold the clip in place so it doesn't fly out
You cant just eject the whole clip and put another one in?
@@gamertardguardian1299 you absolutely can, but that would waste good ammo, which at the time of WW2 (when the m1 was in service) is not something you get a lot of, the average rifleman would carry 80 rounds, 10 clips, so ejecting a clip that still has ammo is not that great an idea
I believe that CoD 3 had that feature with the Garand as well.
And for some reason Infinite warfare
It did actually
@@hotpocketreviews bo3 also could not do a mid-clip reload either
No, you can't do it
This video is very historically accurate. Rag doll physics were an integral part of the war.
This game...totally looks like a re-skin for Solder of Fortune: Payback. and yes...they done this game too
So glad I'm not the only one who noticed
Not only that game, but also Civil War Secret Missions, Secret Service, Jurassic The Hunted, and Cabella's Big Game Hunter.
It was pretty smart for the History Channel to try and diversify into new markets by making video games, they saw the potential and went for it. A shame the execution was really not good. I remember playing their Rome game on PS2 and it was underwhelming to say the least. With hindsight it would have made sense to simply team up with other gaming studios like Creative Assembly than try and develope their own studio.
I got a soft spot for janky History Channel games. No idea why.
What is jank
@@seronymus Things that aren’t used anymore.
@@seronymus shit
@Zachary Durocher larper
@@seronymus Jank sometimes means an unintended feature or bug of a game that isn't necessarily poor game design
Unless there's something unusual about my '43 Springfield Armory model M1, then it is absolutely possible to reload a Garand before you're out of ammunition. You can either eject the clip with the huge button on the side and then insert a fresh one, or you can single load rounds into the top with little more force than it takes to press the clip into the magazine to begin with.
This game was published by Activision, who also published World at War the very same year.
World At War was the AAA polished version. This game is the bargain budget version.
When I was a child this is one of the few games my family would let me play because it was from History Channel. I loved it!
Omg the battalion wars OST at the end! I love you
Straight up thought I was the only person who remembered or played that game, I used to be obsessed with the lore of that universe as a kid
lol I never thought I would ever see a youtuber with a good number of subs covering this game in 2021. I love it
I actually still have this game for Xbox 360. Despite it being super bad, I got it dirt cheap and it's good for a few quick easy achievements.
Watching these videos have reminded me of a game I played years ago. I rember the game being really fun and shit at the same time. It's called "The History Channel: Great Battles of Middle Ages", seems like something you may enjoy.
We had the roman one over here, historically speaking? Utter BS. Gameplay wise? Sign me the fuck up

Even if he did, so fucking what? He's showing off a janky WW2 game from 15 years ago.
Fun fact: the M1 Garand had a small button or lever or something (I can't remember because my memory sucks with tiny details like that) that allowed the user the force the clip out to reload without having to fire all 8 rounds

Oh man, this video was such a blast from the past. This was my very first fps game I ever played, I got this game for Christmas along with my ps3 In 2011 when it first came out. I remember how awesome the explosions where and how much I loved mowing down people with the Thompson. I remember my dad trying to switch it to 3rd person because he was confused why only the hand and the gun popped up. I had to explain what first person was to him 😂 so many hours sitting in front of that “flat screen” kinda makes me wanna replay it
5:50 RS and RS2 you can still reload the Garand before the clip is empty but its a slower reload as a result for obvious reasons
Day of Defeat
Subbed because of this video. Never saw your channel before. Epic. I am not sure what scares me more, that UA-cam decided this would be a good watch for me based on my trends or that the UA-cam algorithm decided to promote this out of all your other content... I mean, History Channel.
I have this game, played it once at a friend’s house when I was a kid. I thought it was amazing🤣😭
"Mom, can we get Call of Duty: World At War? "
"No son, we have WAW at home"
*WAW at home:*
This game reminds me of the mobile shooter brother in arms 2 which being my first ww2 shooter. Even for a mobile shooter it still gives out a story quite well.
Brothers in arms global front
They shouldn't have taken it off the app store
I've fired a Garand, you can reload them without firing every bullet. It actually bothers me heavily when games don't allow you to reload mid clip.
Love how he pointed out the 'rarity' of the Garand reload feature; it seems like every FPS with the Garand had that feature until CODWAW (if my memory is correct), now it is a rarity from what I've seen...
I love how he says the whole title when talking about the game. Boy I sure do love, History channels Battle for the Pacific, are you doing a drop shot in History Channel Battle for the Pacific?
Can’t get enough of this History Channel’s Battle for the Pacific. I expect more for History Channel’s Battle for the Pacific. Classic History Channel Battle of the Pacific blunders…. I may have made the last one up. Who can tell when playing History Channel’s Battle for the Pacific l
2:31 accurate considering they were both Japanese soldiers
The developers of this video game monument also did an SOF, SOF: Payback ...a wonder of its kind.
the graphics honestly look kind of decent imo
"Are you dropshotting me in History Channel: Battle for the Pacific?!"
The original version of the M1 garand did not allow the clip to be ejected until it was empty but the second model they added that feature to the weapon. So it’s accurate to have it either way.
"Are you drop-shotting me in history channel's battlefield pacific???"
still better than Battlefield 2042
Your vids were randomly recommended to me but I really enjoy your content dude keep up the good work!
unsubed disliked and reported for being bad at pvp
Medal of Honor Frontlines wouldn't let you reload the M! Garand unless you ran out of ammo.
historically accurate ragdoll physics
This guy is playing The History Channel's Battle for the Pacific
Meanwhile UA-cam: "Yes! Call of Duty World at War!"
The Ragdolls are the most realistic way of dying I've ever seen in a video game ever
First time finding your channel. And I heard that background music in the background. You’re a certified good guy.
Day of Defeat: Source has this feature where you can only reload the Garand when you empty the clip. One of the best arcade FPS I’ve played.
At least there is no "Premium holiday Santa Claus with candy rifle deluxe soldier" skin for microtransaction in the character select screen.
They should make an zombies DLC called: History Channel At 3AM
On the plus side, it's not quite as bad as Soldier of Fortune: Payback's multiplayer since the hit detection's actually functional above 30fps. You can also still play the 360 version online officially.
YOOOOO, I REMEMBER THIS GAME! I never played the multiplayer but the singeplayer was fun as hell and honestly pretty good for its time. This is straight up my childhood
I had the wii version of this and given it was my first shooter game I have a soft spot for it as cheesy and B-ranking as it is. I loved the little history clips between the levels explaining what it was I was doing which have disappeared from games post CoD WaW it seems.
Someone got ahold of the Soldier of Fortune: Payback engine............
This game is so good that UA-cam is mistaking it for World at War
Pov: rare historic footage of Japanese soldier cartwheeling through the air
I'm just expecting Tsoukalos to show up in the game at any moment making claims about aliens.
The untold history of the golden claw hidden within a Japanese bone cairn somewhere in the pacific.
that trench gun looks like it came from TF2's workshop
If this is from the History Channel where was the alien invasion?!?!
Yea, i was fully expecting a Haunebu-II to fly across the screen heading straight for Agartha.
The History Channel also made a couple FPS games you could play in your browser. One was in Vietnam and I think the other was a fictional modern war.
"We're no longer friends, BTW."
"Good."
I don’t know if anybody ever played or remembers them, but from the history channel website there was a directory of fps and plane games using the gMod engine. It was my first introduction to the engine and I figured it out after finally playing actual gMod myself. They had gulf war, ww2 Vietnam and post 9/11 campaigns that had actual fun multiplayer
Where can i play (Also gmod's engine is called source fyi)
This was just another random UA-cam recommendation... until the battalion wars menu music started playing in the outro
This is the version you got from your grandparents when you asked for Call of Duty World at War for Christmas
you gave me flashbacks to the good old days with that outro music
I legit would misteak this as World at War if I wasn't told different before hand
Black Ops 3 had a black market "MX or MX1" which was a modern garand. 8 shot magazine that could not be reloaded unless all 8 shots were fired.
"gimmie a funny sound i can censor it with"
**villager noise**
There was another History Channel FPS for the show ShootOut! Called WWII/Vietnam and it was actually somewhat decent
Can’t wait for History channel to finally release the much anticipated action adventure RPG The curse of Oak Island.
The MX Garand in BO3 Zombies doesn't allow you to reload until you've emptied the entire clip. I was really surprised when I got one out of the mystery box and discovered that feature.
My grandpa is haunted by the memory of the flying Japanese of Kokoda
I remember ANOTHER History Channel WII and Vietnam shooter, from their show Shootout. There was a Battle of the Bulge map that I played for soooo many fucking hours in middle school and apparently no one remembers its existence
This Games UI looks Dangerously close to Mean Greens (the toy soldiers game on steam) I suggest you look into that too!
This and the civil war game history made are two games that haunt my ps2 because those were all I had for a minute until I got the cod double pack with big red one and finest hour
Man I played so much of those History Channel FPS games back in the days of windows XP
Don't play the history channel's Battle for the Pacific at 3am or a flying pyramid will vaporize you.
"are you drop shoting me?" I lost it
