The problem (if you can even call it that) with The Pacific was that it followed too many storylines. BoB was about one company, with one main character throughout. Pacific had three central characters and as a result is far more disjointed. IMO, Eugene Sledge is the most compelling character in Pacific, but he just doesn't get enough screen time.
It's kind of brutal getting compared to BoB, though. Frankly, I think that's the best thing that's ever been on television. Pacific only pales in comparison to that. It's still an excellent miniseries with the same high production standards.
