[edit] Features
Players play as Corporal (and later, Sergeant) Frank Keegan, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. Keegan is later transferred to the 17th Airborne Division after Operation Market Garden and before Operation Varsity.
Vanguard's features are similar to that of Medal of Honor: Airborne. Players are able to customize their weapons, such as adding a scope to a M1 Garand rifle and a larger ammunition drum for a Thompson submachine gun, although these upgrades are only available on certain levels' missions.
At the start of each of the operations, players parachute onto a battlefield (with the exception of a glider insertion at the start of the invasion of Normandy) and can roughly designate where they land. Players who land at certain points in a level will be able to pick up weapon upgrades and ammunition. Missions can be played out in different ways depending on where the player lands and which weapons he or she obtains.
Content-wise, both versions of the game are the same. However, the Wii version implements the Wii Remote to accomplish such movements as crouching, jumping, making quick turns, reloading, and shooting. These actions are accomplished with a standard video game interface (buttons and joysticks) on the PS2 version and are also an option on the Wii.
Vehicles were not included in the final game, as EA wished to focus on foot battles.[citation needed]
[edit] Multiplayer
Multiplayer has been included in the game in the form of a 2-4 player split-screen mode with both the Wii and PS2 versions. (The PS2 version requires a multitap to support more than two players.) There are five modes:
- Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Capture the Flag
- King of the Hill
- Scavenger Hunt
