Ziba Tower

Ziba Tower is one of the four maps featured in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters DLC. It was first shown in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters Gameplay Trailer. The map is located in the middle of Tehran, Iran.

The map is among the smallest ever made for a Battlefield game, but makes up for it with its emphasis on vertical combat. Platforms overlook several courtyard areas, open staircases are strewn throughout, and the outer terraces are staggered.

Trivia

 * "Ziba" (زیبا) means "beautiful" or "elegant" in Farsi.
 * This map will only support a maximum of 16 players.
 * Joe Horan created the base idea for the concept of Ziba Tower.
 * Jumping off of the map and out of the boundaries will grant the Trophy/Achievement "Grinding the Crack", but will kill the player.
 * A blue Helicopter with a spotlight will circle above the building during the match. The same helicopter can be seen in the street fight in the single player mission Comrades. This helicopter can't be shot down or locked on to.
 * Wine bottles found in bars have labels and some say Frostbite 2 with the Frostbite logo and one bottle says 1942 with smaller text beneath the 1942 that is unreadble but may be readable with an HD computer.
 * A lobby between A and B has the loading theme from Ziba Tower playing inside it.
