And they're not going to hassle DICE to go through the effort of releasing dedicated server tools because who'd want that right?
Guess we're stuck with Gameranger.

They do have dedicated server tools, they're just shutting down the master servers.

We've already developed our own master server, and it's running quite nicely, replacing the services that GameSpy hosted. FH2 contacted us and they will be using our servers as well, so they're fine too. After a bit of testing has occurred, this will be going out with v1.2, which will obviously be released before this shutdown occurs.
For you regular player folk, the only thing you'll notice about the whole situation is when updating to 1.2, you'll get a message box saying some stuff, your profiles will be deleted, and you'll be prompted to make a new profile. From there, it's business as usual .

These games can easily brought back up and running again with some client patches / software and community-managed master servers. I'm far more afraid of the future in which all the current third-party-only hosted servers and persistent account systems for games like Battlefield 3 are shut down. That is going to require far more work and cooperation of the developers to hand the tools to the community to keep things running.
