I will add , in terms of mechanics :

Pacific has environmental effects such as Hot and Fever - The ETO box has no such effects.

The Pacific Locations encourage much more close quarters combat. A lot of the locations block line of sight or are isolated etc. What this means is long range weapons are not as useful.

The USMC soldiers included in Pacific have a unique skill called Gung Ho, which all marines have, it gives them a free attack when they move to a new location. The Soldiers in the ETO deck are just standard US Army.

The Japanese hostile deck is I think a bit easier though can be more deadly in close range compared to the German Hostiles included in the ETO box, who I find are more lethal at range - this is I think the games way of abstracting the Germans having more and heavier firepower vs the Japanese hostiles which, for example, have hostile effects such as infiltration and Banzai charge.

Personal opinion but I feel the missions and objectives in the Pacific box are better balanced and designed than those in the ETO box. The ETO missions can be a bit stingy with resource points - which is what you use t build and equip your squad.

Both games, in the action deck, have cards allowing you to call in Mortar or Sniper support but only the Pacific box includes action cards for Naval artillery support and close air support.

Overall I enjoy Warfighter WW2 but I do prefer the Pacific box and expansions.
