Desert Combat is a popular mod for the hit first-person shooter (FPS) computer game Battlefield 1942. DC brings the game's setting to modern warfare in the Middle East, providing the player with the opportunity to drive modern vehicles such as M2 Bradleys and fly F-14 Tomcats from aircraft carriers. The game pits the United States and its coalition allies against Iraq.
Many players consider it to be one of the best mods since Half-Life's Counter-Strike. It is also sometimes lauded in the mod community for the developer's ingenuity in making changes to the game despite Battlefield 1942 lacking basic mod support such as an SDK.
There have been mods for DC as well. Desert Combat Extended modifies gameplay (still arcade style) and new content, such as new armies. Desert Combat Realism Mod modifies gameplay and features to make comabt more realistic. There have been several other smaller modifications to the DC as well such as Enhanced DC, DC High Power, and 21st Century Warfare. DC Final was released as a seme-official expansion, and inlcudes previously unreleased orginal DC content and work of the some the the orignal Desert Combat team members. It was not a official release of Trauma Studios or of the Desert Combat team however.
