Crimson Shores is a small multiplayer map in Medal of Honor: European Assault.
It is playable on every gamemode except Blitzkrieg.
Overview[]
Located on the edge of a forest and right by a river, this map is set somewhere in Europe (maybe even somewhere in Russia as suggested by the destroyed tank in the trench by the Allies' base). Across the river, a destroyed cityscape rises into the sky; the distant sounds of battle still echoing through the air. Boats line the beach, perhaps from an evacuation of the city or maybe even an invasion; though, not all of them made it ashore. The bridge that once connected one side of the river to the other lies in ruins. Destroyed tanks and buildings evidence that a battle has already taken place here, but was there a victor? Or did the blood of both sides stain the shore a crimson shade of red?
This map is small with plenty of low lying cover. It's great with rifles and heavier weapons like the StG44 or the B.A.R.; but, not so much with sniper rifles due to the lack of "high points" on the map. Though, if one were to play on the Axis side, they could get a good sniping spot in the building that bears the Axis flag (though there's barely any cover).
Pickup Locations[]
- The Bazooka is located by a tree nearest to the Axis base on the left side (if you're on the Axis side) of the first destroyed Panzer.
- A Weapon Upgrade is located right behind the wall closest to the Allies' base.
- The Change Class Station is located by the tree across the road from the Bazooka on the other side of the first destroyed Panzer.

- The Axis objective is located in the Allies' base right on the munitions boxes.

Trivia[]
- On the tank by the Allies' base, there appear to be faces on the turret. For example, there is what looks to be a "devil face" and a smiley face.
- Though not confirmed, Sniper Square may be the destroyed city across the river.
- There is a hidden basement in the Allies' base.
- During the explosion cutscene in the Allies' base, the flag disappears.
- The river that is outside the map has its own unique sound of running water and can be partially stepped into, unlike the water on Crossing the Styx.
