For anyone out there that played the Battlefield 3 beta. Why would you go through the trouble of playing so much and ranking so high knowing that the rank will not carry over to the release of the game?

I played on Sunday to get a few more games in prior to the beta shutting down, and came across players that had maxed out on their level.

I reached a modest level 20 and that's only because I stopped playing because it was not worth going through the trouble of trying to unlock items and level up seeing I would have to do it all over again come Oct 25th.

So Why?
