Desert Combat

''Desert Combat'' is a popular mod (computer gaming) 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 software development kit. 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 combat 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 semi-official expansion, and includes previously unreleased original DC content and work of some of the original Desert Combat team members. It was not an official release of Trauma Studios or of the Desert Combat team, but some former members were involved in the release. == Trauma Studios == On ''September 1st, 2004'', Digital Illusions CE bought Trauma Studios, the developers of the Desert Combat Battlefield:1942 modifications. Administrators on the official Desert Combat website say that DICE and Trauma Studios are supposedly going to collaborate on making a new First-person shooter, but this is uncertain. Update: It is now confirmed that Trauma Studios is working with DICE on the upcoming Battlefield 2 game. == Weapons == * Knife * Beretta_92F/FS * M21_(rifle) Sniper Rifle * M-16 * M-203 * M249 * MP-5 * Remington 870 * M-67 Grenade * Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon * FIM-92 Stinger * Mortar * Browning_Hi-Power * Skorpion VZ 61 * AK-47 * GP-30 * AKS-74 * Tabuk Sniper Rifle * PKM * RPG-7 * VSS_Vintorez * SA-7 * Pistolet Sptsialnyj Samozaryadnyj (PSS) * Barrett_M82A1 == Vehicles == ===Coalition=== * M1 Abrams * M2 Bradley * M163 M61 Vulcan * Humvee * Desert Patrol Vehicle * M270 MLRS * M109_howitzer howitzer * A-10 Thunderbolt * F-14 Tomcat * F-15 Eagle * F-16 Falcon * AH-64 * UH-60 Black Hawk * UH-60Q Dust-Off * UH-60L Battle Hawk * AC-130 * F-117 Nighthawk * MH-53 ===Opposition=== * T-72 * BMP-2 * BRDM2 * ZSU-23-4 Shilka * Pantsyr * M-1974 * Scud * BM21 * Ural Truck * Technical * MiG-29 * Su-25 * Dassault Mirage F1 * Mil Mi-8 * Mil Mi-24 == Maps == * Battle of 73 Eastings * Al-Khafji Docks * Lost Village * Medina Ridge * Oil Fields * Desert Shield * Basrah's Edge * Basrah Night * No Fly Zone * Weapon Bunkers == See also == * List of Battlefield 1942 mods == External links == * ''Desert Combat'' official site: http://www.desertcombat.com/ * DICE buys Trauma: http://www.traumastudios.com/press.html * Desert Combat interview with creator, Frank DeLise: http://articles.filefront.com/Desert_Combat_Interview/;280;;;/article.html * Desert Combat Final Forums: http://www.dcforums.org * DCF Community: http://www.dcfonline.org Battlefield 1942 mods

Desert Combat

Desert Combat is the most advanced and polished of Battlefield 1942 mods. The map areas are far more intricate, though the gameplay is much faster due to more effective vehicles. The combat kits are more interesting, though they may not be as balanced. -Dan Smith Added a few missing weapons/vehicles, cleaned/clarified links on a few others(process uncompleted due to Wikipedia's article text search shutting off partway through). Notes: I left the 'MH-53' Link I added as just that as I have no clue which variant it actually is. The game has it listed as simply 'MH-53' so I left it at that. PSS was left unlinked for a simple reason, I was unable to track down what the heck it actually is. It is used as the secondary weapon for the VSS Iraqi SpecOps weapons kit. It is a small, very quiet pistol with an eight-round clip. More details I do not know, part of why I couldn't figure out what it was to link to it. I'd have linked it anyway except PSS is a Disamb page for several unrelated things and would be deceptive. Didn't touch the maps, someone else can update to the new DC_Final mapslist. -Graptor Went through the weapons again, finished what I started. Did some more research as to what the remaining unknown weapons were, and Changed links accordingly. Article for the Skorpion is missing as far as I can tell, but that's definetly the right gun. Tabuk Sniper Rifle according to my (admittedly somewhat cursory) research appears to be a specially made Iraqi rifle that consists of derivatives of several other designs, so I left that alone(source: http://www.pmulcahy.com/sniper_rifles/iraqi_sniper_rifles.htm ). I actually was able to track down the PSS this time as well. It expands to 'Pistolet Sptsialnyj Samozaryadnyj' according to http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg24-e.htm , which translates as 'Special Self-loading pistol'(a Designation I found on several other sites as well). Unable to find any other designation for it, so I left it unlinked for the time being. Someone else with more experience can figure out what to do with that. -Graptor
