Alborz Mountains

Alborz Mountain (Persian: قله البرز) is a map featured in the upcoming Battlefield 3: Armored Kill expansion pack. The map is set within the Alborz mountain range, located in northern Iran.

Trivia

 * The map currently has seven flags in Conquest though this may be reduced for console versions.
 * While the map is called Alborz Mountain, implying that it is only one mountain, it is in fact a collection of peaks, including Mount Damavand, where the map Damavand Peak is located.
 * It is currently the only known snow-based map in Battlefield 3.
 * As Mount Damavand is the highest peak in the Alborz mountains, and on the map Damavand Peak it is not snow covered, it is safe to assume that Damavand Peak takes place in summer while Alborz Mountain takes place in the winter.
 * In the gameplay premiere trailer, the minimap of Bandar Desert is displayed. This is a placeholder as DICE had not yet finished the minimap layout.
