I agree with alucard - why remove the vehicles when the mappers can just avoid using them?
Server admins can control what maps they use, and squads can control how their mappers map.
Its not that big of a deal
And alucard - Nope, no new tools for DFX2. That will come with the release of Angel Falls.
DFX2 sounds like it is just going to be DFX with new terrains, objects and game play like BHD
