Trauma Studios is yet another example that if you make a good mod, with great support and work hard you can turn your hobby into a dream job. Trauma Studios built Desert Combat which is a modification for Battlefield 1942 and they just signed an agreement to work together on a "previously announced" DICE project. The cost allotment for this venture..... $550,000.

Patrick Söderlund, CEO, Digital Illusions, stated, “We understood the impact Desert Combat had quite early. This mod kept Battlefield's popularity in place during the last year, as well as helped us sell a considerable amount of games.”
