Tehran Highway (Persian: بزرگراه تهران) is one of the nine multiplayer maps in Battlefield 3. As the name suggests, it is set in a highway in the Iranian Capital of Tehran, however since the highways of Tehran are around 180 km in length, it is probably one of the more famous highways such as the Modarres or the Hemmat. Tehran Highway is perfect for snipers due to its elevated terrain, multiple hide-outs and its dark setting. As a mid-sized map, MAVs have increased flight ceiling, lower than the mid-sized air maps, but enough to keep them away from fire. Players spawning on Radio Beacons are not airdropped.
