Found the following on EA's site. Not sure if it's posted here (looked through 20 or so pages and decided to post) ...
Unless Crytek/EA/Gamespy/GFace (too many cooks?) is cool about distributing new codes, it might be too late for those of us who used their Crysis 1 gamesas account to redeem the code.
Sigh...
I now have three accounts.
One works for multiplayer, but not for forum posts. The other works for forum posts (and maybe multiplayer). The original Crysis 1 account worked to redeem the code (via the website), but it cannot login to multiplayer, in-game, to actually download the DLC. That one doesn't work in the forum either.
Fun.
Next time, just skip the "Limited Edition" DLC bait and make sure the old Crysis login database works with the new game.
Anyway, here's the EA info.

QUESTION
How do I redeem my Crysis 2 Limited Edition DLC Code?
ANSWER
A separate gamesas Account is required to access any online features, including multiplayer content, the redemption of Limited Edition codes, DLC, etc.
While gamesas accounts use IGN technology, they do not use or require a standard GameSpy ID. You should not attempt to access online content with your GameSpy ID.
You may create your gamesas account through the game, or by logging in to gamesas.com.
Logging in for the first time via the game will create a completely new login.
If users already have a gamesas login, they may use that to login.
Otherwise, they will be prompted to create an account.
To redeem your bonus content code from within a PC game:
Select "Multiplayer" from the Crysis 2 main menu.
If you have not logged in before, you will need to create a gamesas account. Enter your nickname, password, and email when requested.
In the Crysis 2 multiplayer menu, select the "My Crysis" option.
Select "Redeem Code". This will exit the game and open gamesas in a browser window.
Login using your gamesas details.
Enter the content code in the text box and click "Redeem Code".
Run the game and it will automatically detect that your bonus content is available.
