Frank DeLise quotes, saying "One thing we were really good at [with the Battlefield 1942 mod Desert Combat] was we really listened to players. What do they want? What do they want to see next? It's really passion about the stuff we make. That obviously paved the way for us to develop the Battlefield 2 R&D projects. But now we have totally different ideas of where the action-drama should go. The most important thing to me was I wanted to keep the core team together and even expand on that." [4] .

Desert Combat Realism Mod Desert Combat Realism Mod (abbreviated to DCR, DCRM, DC Realism) began as 'Tanelorn's DC Game Balance Mod', with early versions being released under that name. With the addition of MisterD , the mod was renewed with a number of new members and had many more ambitions. The mod originally focused on simply realism, but expanded to add a large amount of content, including original music, voice acting, new game objects, original maps as well as some of highest level of new game features in the form of codings. The mods community size numbered in the thousands during its peak in popularity, with a full server not uncommon during a new release. With the gradual tapering down in the number of Desert Combat and players to new games, including Battlefield 2, released in June 2005, its popularity has since dropped. In November of 2005, the forums and website were shut down. Battlefield 2 (abbreviated to BF2) is a computer game where players fight in a near-future battlefield using state of the art firearms and vehicles. ...

A megabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to approximately one million bytes. ...
The mod went through several versions, eventually culminating in a 'Marine' expansion pack. Some of the game items include original music and voice acting. For example, a Laser Designator that called in an air-strike was implemented.
There were other smaller changes, such as a boom box playing in an aircraft hangar. Other modelled and skinned game items included the Marines' LAV-25, AH-1 Cobra, M167-VADS and many new weapon systems. Also of note were nearly a dozen various customizations to Russian weapons, Non-Commissioned Officer squad commands and new firearms: in particular, the M60 machine gun was added, as were tracer rounds for the SMAW, a 3-round burst mode for the M16A2, a flare gun and helmet for pilots, and effects were added to indicate a player was wounded.
