The Desert Combat Website has word to expect version 0.39 alpha of this popular Battlefield 1942 modification on August 15 (thanks Ant). Also, HomeLAN Fed's Monkeystrike Q&A chats with Friedrich "FrieChamp" B. of the Monkeystrike modification for Half-Life, the class-based mod where all the players end up as monkeys (actually most of them are apes, and there's a prosimian thrown in for good measure). They discuss gameplay, the response of those who've played it, and plans for the future.
