Capturing the addictive game play and pulse-pounding missions of the original, Deadly Dozen: Pacific Theater engages gamers in commando-style attacks against the forces of Japan. To achieve victory, gamers lead their customized squad of twelve skilled heroes on missions from the Philippines to Okinawa. Creeping silently through immersive environments, the Deadly Dozen sneak up on their enemy through dense jungles, crawl on their stomachs for surprise attacks, dodge shots, flee and duck behind cover, and drive tanks and other authentic WWII vehicles. Before coordinating their attacks or rescuing captured POW's, players can outfit their squads with an impressive arsenal of over 20 authentic weapons and items, from more traditional "Tommy guns" and semi-automatic rifles to more exotic weapons like flamethrowers and even a Samurai-style sword.

Deadly Dozen: Pacific Theater features both Single Mission and Campaign single player modes, as well as the ability to make maps for full missions, single player or cooperative modes. The unique multi-player modes - Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Cooperative, and Mission Based - allow players to join games in progress and save multi-player sessions.
