The problem with vehicles is, you add a ground vehicle, players will want an air vehicle to stop it running them over. Add air vehicles, and you get 'spawn raping'. That's my main problem with BF1942 - no automated spawn defence, unlike DoD, where if you get too close to spawn, you die.
Also, if you have air vehicles, you need huge maps to give them room to manouevre. (sp?). I'm all for one or two unarmed vehicles, such as dune buggies or motorbikes, and fixed emplacements, but I don't think it needs full vehicle support. At least, not on every map. I'm a foot slogger and/or treadhead to the end. (Unless too many others are flying, then I'm a killer CPG)
(Oh, the DCX Humvee w/ .50cal rocks! - literally: It's got lowrider suspension
