First of all, just get a demo/trial of Alcohol:

Install it and you'll see how easy it is. The BIGgest problem people have is that the creation of the image can take up to 12 hours (or more depending on the speed of your machine). Just let it run. It reports thousands of errors but that just means it is working. Let it run.
Install Alcohol, run Alcohol, then hit the 'Image Making Wizard' button. At the bottom left of the screen you'll see a 'Datatype' drop-down box. Choose 'Safedisc 2/3' from that list and then create the image.
Alcohol creates a virtual drive by default. So, after you reboot your PC you'll see a new drive letter. Right click that new drive letter in explorer and you'll see a menu item call 'Mount Image'. Browse for the image file you created and it will mount. If you have problems with this, just click the 'Virtual Drive' button inside Alcohol for a list of settings.
When you run BF:V, it will see the virtual drive and use that to load up the game. The image you created is an exact duplicate so no need for cracks. And it loads TONS faster.
