Do you have any detailed info on the ranks? I know there's a lot less than 50 actual ranks in the USMC, are they going to be doing the PFC1 PFC2 etc to stretch it out to 50 or something like that?

Ditto.

it will probably be PFC1 etc because they did something similar in BFBC2

Battlefield 3 PC Beta Ready, Waiting on Microsoft & Sony

Speaking at the FNAC meeting in Paris, France, DICE GM Karl Magnus Troedsson gave a co-op demo of Battlefield 3 and answered questions. According to Planete-Battlefield.fr (unrelated to us), KM Kusa (French Community Manager) said the PC beta is ready, but now they are working with Microsoft and Sony to "accelerate preparations". From what we have heard, it takes 2-3 weeks for Microsoft and Sony to approve content, running it through tests to make sure it won't brick your console among other things. That said, we have no idea when the build was submitted to them. As far as we know, the the Battlefield 3 beta is still slated for sometime this month. Via EA UK Forums.

[Translated] Regarding the beta on PC, it is ready, but many require a beta preparations, DICE is working to accelerate these preparations with Microsoft and Sony. Once these are completed, the beta will begin.
