looks like your solder will be your origin username and and you can not get it changed unless it contains personal information and it must be your name, address or social security number, there are absolutely no exceptions. This may sound simple at first until you think about it..........if your going to create a new origin account be sure you choose wisely, once BF3 is registered to it that's it, it can never be changed, it's your solders same forever.
I was also told by livechat that there's no way to transfer games over to a different account or merge 2 and also that it's "not allowed" to use 2 origin accounts...........i just said "OK" and moved on, this was the same customer support agent that took 68 minutes to put my veteran status in my new account then he said i wasn't allowed to use 2 accounts, he probably doesn't know what he's talking about, basic English skills were a true feat of brain power for that jem of a representative, I swear they must just open the door and ask anyone that walks by if they want to work for peanuts.
So best case is you will now have to have a separate origin account for BF3 than your other EA digital games if you don't want your soldiers name to be your current origin log in. If you preordered the game through origin your screwed unless you want to cancel the preorder and then create a new origin account but most people used coupons so that would mean loosing the discount. I know this will help end grifers and limit hackers in the long run but man, what a friggen headache!
I had a personal email as my origin log in and that isn't worthy enough for a ID change, it has to be your name, address or social security number for them to even consider changing it. There's even a special help ticket for it. So just be aware before you register your game code to an origin account to make sure it's a log in you want as your soldiers name, because once it's done your stuck with it forever.
