Certain books and movies have suggested that when humans and dinosaurs interact, the general result is that the dinos get a little light exercise followed by a tasty snack. The Dominant Species mod explores what happens when the humans are well-armed and functioning as a team. Of course, the dinosaurs are smarter, too. Who will prove to be the dominant predator?

Dominant Species will not be modding BF1942. Apparently BF doesn't allow custom player models. No skin in the world is going to make a humanoid model look like a dinosaur. Moving on...
Instead, we're looking at the UT2K3 engine, which looks pretty darn good. Okay, it looks real good. We have a winner (now if I could only stop dreaming about modding Doom3).
More news as it becomes relevant.

Never played it. As a matter of fact, I'd never heard of it until after I'd thought up the name, decided I liked it, then googled to see what else was out there. There didn't seem to be any contention, since the two have nothing in common (besides the name), so I kept the name.

........ The only reason I mentioned BF1942 is becasue that's what the game is listed as being under in the Mod Database. <shrugs>
Well, I don't know whether Pseudofear was being prophetic or just cursed me, but creating this mod for BF1942 is now in serious question. As of this point, I cannot figure a way to accomplish my vision for the mod using the refractor2 engine. I'm still looking to see if it will be possible, but I'm also looking into other game engines as well.
Oh, regarding the Utahraptor looking like a Deinonychus, I don't see that being a problem. Both Deinonychus antirrhopus and Utahraptor ostrommaysorum fossils were discovered in North America, while fossils of Velociraptor mongoliensis were discovered in Asia. I'm not an expert on the subject, but it's not a stretch for me to think that the two from NA could have a similar appearance, that being quite different from the Velociraptor. Plus, that was the best Utahraptor picture I could find. Of course, my main concern with the Utahraptor is that it's larger than a Velociraptor and smaller than a T-rex.
While I truly appreciate the high ratings DS has received, since the mod is in such an early state, those ratings represent approval of the idea rather than the mod itself. I will reinstate the ratings at a later time.
Dinosaurs? Now that's an interesting concept. Why are you modding BF1942? From what I've read on your site, you don't really need gigantic maps or Vechicals. Of course, considering I know two things about you Mod, Jack and **** I'm not really one to critque.
Well except for one thing, your Picture of a Utahraptor looks more like a Deinonychus. Utahraptors were friggin' big, and not to agile (Well, compared to most other Raptors). <Some times goes by> Well I was browsing the web, looking for a picture to back up my veiws, but I can't seem to find anything good. I didn find the artist that drew the picture you have, but that's not really helpful. Well, anyway Good luck with your mod.
P.S To anyone reading this, yes I am a geek and I know it. :p
I apologize to anyone that has tried to access the Dominantspecies.net link. My ISP is going out of business ;(, and I'm in the process of switching to another. The site will be back up as soon as I get everything straightened out.
Regarding the mod delivery date, it will be quite a while yet. The mod is pre-alpha; I'm working on code and models atm. I'll post pics and status updates when appropriate.
Quando sarà pronto il mod ?? (When it is ready the mod ??)
