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.
