Ok I'm asking this cos I'm at work atm and I cant remember if there's a function to do this.
Can you change your displayed name for online in the account manager
ie Can I change from SoulC to |2es-Soul ?? or do we have to start again ??

Yes a big unfortunate thing is you cant change your online name without creating a new account you can have a few different accounts though as far as I know.
This is a pain I know but positive thing out of it though many that have achieved lance corporal and picked the wrong weapon at the time get a second chance to pick the right one bext time around and its only a 1000 points I got to wait 4500 to pick my right weopon Crying or Very sad

Here's what EA had to say :

Thank you for contacting us here at Electronic Arts Technical Support.

I’m sorry but you can't change your account information. This is stated in the game manual. If you need to change your nickname, or any account information, you would need to create a new account. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Which I read as Tuff! Evil or Very Mad

Oh well perhaps if enough ppl query this something may happen in the future. Cool

GOOD NEWS

Well it appears the new patch is going to allow a five character insert in front of existing user names. So the answer would now appear to be yes shortly
