Battlefield 3 Tehran Highway
Battlefield 3 Tehran Highway, is, as the name suggests, based around the Iranian capitol of Tehran, where US and Russian forces in Battlefield 3 battle on a map in the style of Road to Jalalabad and Strike At Karkand. Players start the round in the hills above the city, and gradually work their way in. Tehran Highway is the only nighttime map in Battlefield 3.

Tehran Highway layout

Unlike most other Conquest 64 maps, Tehran Highway has only 4 capture points, which are divided by a highway. This layout usually results in a stalemate with both sides each controlling two flags, with heavy exchange of gunfire and battles across the highway.

Tehran Highway tips

Capturing and holding more than two flags is key to victory, as all other conquest maps. The best way is a head-on assault with vehicles on one of the control points across the highway. Because of its dark setting and plenty of buildings and elevated positions, Tehran Highway is a great place for snipers, who can position themselves above the battle to spot and take out enemies.

Vehicles

Being a mostly urban map, Tehran Highway has a modest amount of vehicles per side. In addition to the starting vehicles, each capture point offers 1 transport vehicle once the flag has been captured.

      Right, because that’s exactly what the four sentences above have specifically stated: that we’ll be starting miles away from the action. Derp.

    Night cover good for stealth bad for street combat make shure you remove your tacticle lights and red dots so they dont see you and use your team mates for clearing building throw a nade in then move in the more places you can enter at once the easier you can overwhelm the enimy

      …because during the course of the game, a madman has stolen Nuclear Weapons and created a large army that he is keeping in Iran. The Americans and Russians enter Iran looking for this man so that they can secure the Nuclear Weapons. I think that I Iran government asks for the aid, but I’m not sure.

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    I am an Iranian student and I live in Iran.

    The Iranian government is the worst and most brutal government in the world and is killing innocent people every hour.

    The dictatorship of Iranian government is worse than Saddam Hosein or Gaddafi…

    Many students are beaten and imprisoned or killed because they only said their opinion about the Iranian government! (Like this comment!)

    I love this game. I think it is the best game ever made for PC or any other console (PS3 or XBOX360)

    Those who you kill during the game are Basiji (Iranian government) not ordinary people….

    I love you DICE. I Love you EA. I love you Battlefield 3 producers…

    I only wished there were some Ayatollahs to kill during the game!

    lol

    :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

    Every people in Iran hates the Iranian government and we are all fighting to save ourselves from this regime. I always watch the news on BBC and pray that someday President Obama will declare war against Iranian Regime…

    They are our greatest hope right now…
