Caspian Border

Caspian Border is a map which is featured in Battlefield 3. Caspian Border is a multi-faceted, vehicle heavy map that exemplifies classic Battlefield gameplay. This map is one that is fit for all classes as a result of a wide variety of vehicles and different terrains. In the video it shows that there are 5 points to capture with A being an antenna, B being a checkpoint, C being a forest, D being a hilltop and with E being a gas station. It pits the United States Marine Corps against the Russian Ground Forces, on the border between Iran and Turkmenistan near the Caspian Sea, per its namesake. Despite its location, text on the gas station is in some sort of Roman script.

Writing in Farsi is also found on shipping containers, which suggests it is in fact in on the northern Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea, with the Alborz mountains in the background and in Battleblog #14 the Caspian Border is set in the Turkmen-Iranian Border.

Description
A Russian recon force has set up camp on the Turkmenistan side of the Iranian border and proceeded to take over the heavily built up border checkpoint.

Trivia

 * During the Battlefield 3 Beta, the Antenna had a ladder which could be used to reach an area on the antenna. The ladder was removed in the final version of the game.
 * The antenna could not be collapsed in the final version of the game until the release of the Back to Karkand DLC.This patch lets it collapse if one team has 10 or less tickets
 * On the console versions, mobile anti-aircraft vehicles and Flag E, at the antenna, are not present.
 * The falling antenna will kill and/or destroy any vehicles beneath it as it falls.
 * If the player is on the antenna as it falls the player will simply fall through it or be launched upwards randomly, as though they ejected from a jet.
