-Download BFBC2 Beta from a site. Doesn't matter where.
-When prompted, log in with EA account, or make one if you don't have one.
-make BFBC2 persona(this will carry over to retail if you choose to get it)
NOTE: When making persona, enter soldier name WITHOUT clan tags.
Once installed, you will log into your EA account, then be prompted to make a persona. A window in game will come up asking for the soldier name. For this(I'm using Valve's name for example) put in ValveKing. Then hit NEXT. Another small window will come up asking for a clan tag. This is where you will put your desired tags. In this case, its {XF}. One you make the persona, you CAN NOT change the soldier name, but you can change the clan tag whenever you so choose.

Just thought I'd share this with everyone.
Peace

EDIT: This is for USA ONLY! IDK why, it just is.

Played it for a bit. Wasn't that thrilled in it for it to be my new favorite fps. It has things in it that mw2 doesn't that I like a lot. Like...dedi servers...punk buster...building and terrain damage (better physics) and vehicles. But even with those editions it is still way too slow of a paced game for me to be that excited about it.

Its good, and I'll admit, there are things that need to be worked and will probably after release. Oh, and if the graphics seem a bit...low, its because DICE and EA did that on purpose for the beta. Not all of the textures are included for download purposes, etc etc. At least thats what I've heard. I'm looking forward to the 17+ pus online multiplayer maps though.
