Operation Firestorm is one of the largest maps in Battlefield 3, featuring a wide open desert setting.

Operation Firestorm layout
While the map area is large, the 5 capture points in the map are somewhat tightly placed together, meaning infantry won’t have any trouble advancing from flag to flag. The outer areas are quite open though, with plenty of room for jets to navigate. Three of the capture points are lined up for easy access by infantry, while there are an additional two capture points across a main highway.

Operation Firestorm tips

Like many Battlefield 3 maps, Operation Firestorm features an odd number of capture points, in this case, 5, which means that one team will always have the advantage. The key capture point is the “Warehouse” point situated in the center, which provides easy access to two nearby flags. However, the Warehouse flag, like most other flags on Operation Firestorm, are hard to defend against both infantry and vehicles, which is why flags tend to change hands often on this map.
