Publisher 'Eidos' has just announced that 'two new download packs' are shipping in July for their "Battlestations: Pacific".
Following the recent release of Battlestations: Pacific, Eidos has released a new video and screenshots of the new website that gets players to create their own nose art.
Battlestations: Pacific offers one of the most authentic gameplay experiences with over 100 air, sea and undersea units to master: fighters, bombers, kamikaze planes and subs, aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, battleships and more. Each unit is recreated with incredible visual detail and comes complete with a full damage model that brings the battle to life. AA fire can rip planes to pieces, with wings and tails sheering off while carefully placed bombs or shell fire can pierce the hulls of even the largest ships, causing engines to stall, fuel stores to catch fire, magazines to explode and ultimately ships to break apart.
