'Future' Battlefield mod support in discussion, but not for BF4

Battlefield 4 will not support user mods, DICE general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson confirmed at E3 this week, but future Battlefields game my do so.
Troedsson acknowledged significant demand for mod support in Battlefield games in an interview with PC Gamer.
"We get that question a lot. I always answer the same thing, and then the community calls me bad names," he said when quizzed on mod support for BF4.
"We get the feedback, we understand it. 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."
That said, Troedsson offers hope for mod support in future Battlefield titles.
"But 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," he said.
When asked to elaborate, Troedsson said, "When we think about Battlefield as a franchise, moving forward, it's a big franchise. And we're talking about this, almost as strategies for the company - where are we going, what are we trying to do with the franchise, et cetera. And this is definitely one of the areas that we have been discussing quite a bit."
DICE debuted Battlefield 4's highly-anticipated multiplayer gameplay at E3 this week, and you can get CVG's impressions in this Battlefield 4 multiplayer preview.
