DICE states: "They're the best of the best, the maps that shone the brightest in our playtests, and the ones that combined bring out everything we want both veteran and new Battlefield players to experience in Battlefield 3 multiplayer."
Check out the final nine multiplayer maps set to ship with Battlefield 3 at launch, below.
Grand Bazaar
The battle for central Tehran has reached its second week, and what was expected to be over within days now continues as Russian and US forces clash for control over this ancient city.
Caspian Border
A recon Russian force has setup camp on the Turkmenistan side of the Iranian border and proceeded to take over the heavily built-up border checkpoint.
Seine Crossing
The American invasion of Russian-occupied Paris is in full motion. The upscale area in the 7th district of Paris serves as the battleground.
Noshahr Canals
US Marines launch a strike on a major harbour by the Noshahr Canals on the Iranian coast. The strategically-important port allows for deep-water vessels to offload essential materials.
Kharg Island
Kharg Island is Iran's biggest oil export terminal. If the US can take control over this island, it will deny the Russians critical access to the Iranian oil reserves.
Operation Firestorm
US and Russia launch large-scale assaults to control Iran's biggest source of oil. Securing this area will offer full control of the sector and its key facilities.
Operation Metro
Fiction: Heavy fighting is expected as US Forces push to secure the financial district in central Paris. Russian anti-air emplacements in Chardonnay Park are likely to be the first target.
Tehran Highway
A fight for control of access routes near Tehran. US Forces make a push from the hills under cover of darkness while Russians have set up defensive positions along the main entrance points.
Damavand Peak
A rugged mountain area plays a major role in deciding whether Russian or US troops are successful in combat operations in the sector, as the area is home to key radar installations.
DICE has also teased at a hidden Easter egg so be sure to keep an eye out.
"Oh, and did you know there's a sand castle on one of our maps in Battlefield 3? This classic Easter egg has been present in many Battlefield maps through the years. See if you can find it!"
Battlefield 3 is set to release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 28, 2011.
