After we got to see Battlefield 4’s multiplayer in action, many PC gamers wondered if there would be mod support for the next entry, but DICE’s general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson discussed the problems with opening up their game.
“We get that question a lot. I always answer the same thing, and then the community calls me bad names,” said Troedsson.
“We also would like to see more player-created content, but we would never do something like this if we feel we couldn’t do this 100 percent. That means we need to have the right tools available, we need to have the right security around this regarding what parts of the engine we let loose, so to say. So for BF4 we don’t have any planned mod support, I have to be blunt about saying that. We don’t.”
Troedsson explained that mod support is something that is discussed “quite a bit” at DICE, and some implementation of it is possible on the next instalments of the game.
“It is something that we are thinking about for the future, where we are going with the product, et cetera. So user-created content is something that’s very interesting to us.”

This can’t be BF4. There isn’t a nobbit on the ground with an M16A3 nailing me in the heli and at every corner.
