I believe a BF2 version of DC is in the works (although a long long way off)

Yeah, used to play DC a lot, but that was 3 years ago. Those were the days.

BF2 was ,iirc, created by the same guys who created the DC mod, therefore, DC is now BF2.

Requirements wise, Desert Combat runs well on a p3 933 with a ti4600 & 512MB RAM.

Dice NY (formerly known as Trauma Studios) did have some part in the development of BF2 but it wasn't as major as I'd hoped it to be. I believe all they did was test some of the prototypes used like fastroping (didn't make it in). Shortly after BF2's release Dice NY was dissolved I think.

BF2 would have had a much more arcade-y feel if it was developed by the guys who brought us DC, whether or not that's a good thing is up to the players but I loved DC far more than BF2. Some of the stuff you could pull off was a whole lot more insane and I loved that.

the DC maps were brilliant

especially Basrahs Edge

The DC team is now known as 'Kaos Studios' and they're creating a new FPS built on the Unreal 3 engine called 'Frontlines: Fuel of War'.

Desert Conflict (The DC mod for BF2) is going to recreate a lot of what was in Desert Combat aswell as add a lot of their own new things.
