Randy Pitchford of Gearbox Software - the team behind Borderlands (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) - is in our sights for the moment, as he comments on the direction Electronic Arts Medal of Honor FPS franchise was taking as of late. Pitchford expressed his concern, stating that he felt it needed somebody who could truly understand its core fantasy. More details on this are available in the full article.

Can't wait for more World War II action? Corporal Frank Keegan of the 82nd Airborne Division is coming to a store near you. We bring you another trailer for Medal of Honor: Vanguard from Electronic Arts floating on GameVideos entitled "Gestures".

It's pretty much self explanatory since Medal of Honor: Vanguard is a first person shooter and oh, what fun that is with a Wiimote. The video shows how to use the Wiimote and Nunchuck to shoot down enemies, throw grenades, reload your weapon, and use your rifle to hit enemy soldiers. You'll also see how to control your descent when on a parachute.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard is already in stores and retails at US$ 49.99. We'll quit babbling and let you watch the video. Enjoy!

Electronic Arts has formally announced that that their latest installment to their Medal of Honor franchise, Medal of Honor Vanguard, has been been shipped to store shelves all over North America.

The PS2 version retails for around 40 bucks US$ 39.99 and the Nintendo Wii version is set to ship for around US$ 50 (US$ 49.99). Apparently, ten bucks is the price of Wiimote controls. How many beers can we buy with that? (Just kidding, no hate here, we love the Wii version of the game too.)

Medal of Honor Vanguard is rated T for Teen. So while there may be a whole lot of Nazis dying via gruesome means, you won't see any prostitutes.

EA has remained pretty tight-lipped about this upcoming WWII-themed FPS that's currently cooking in their LA labs, Medal of Honor: Vanguard. And we gotta be honest, when it was first announced for the Wii, it was met with...meh...lukewarm responses. Some of you even said that unless it has a multiplayer feature, you wouldn't consider getting this game.

Well. While we can't do anything about that, or assure you guys that it will have a multiplayer mode, what we can do though is give you even more sneak peeks into this game to help you gauge and decide whether it will be making rounds on your consoles. How, you ask? Via these brand new screens!

Now just in case you've forgotten, MoH Vanguard will place players squat in the middle of the WWII where you'll take on the role of Frank Keegan, Corporal of the 82nd Airborne Division and lead your team as you go out in battlefields across Europe. The game will also feature Wii-specific combat controls wherein the Wiimote will be used for aiming and firing, while the Nunchuk's analog stick and two buttons will control player movement.

If at this point, your interest has been piqued, make sure you watch out for Medal of Honor: Vanguard when it hits shelves this March.

Wii users had mixed reactions regarding EA's announcement that they currently developing Medal of Honor: Vanguard for the Wii. Some said that it was "just another PS2 port" while some said that they'd be looking forward to the multiplayer options in the game. Despite varied opinions, we think we can all agree that more games mean more choices, so there's no cause for complaints, right?

In case you've been held hostage under the control of terrorist dwarves, here are some of the stuff you might want to know and look forward to in the game:

• upgradeable weapons, extensive combat dialogue, cinematic moments, enhanced AI and graphics system
• the Wiimote will be used for aiming and firing, while the Nunchuk's analog stick and two buttons will control player movement
• split-screen multiplayer, with two to four players in deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and King of the Hill.
• a new multiplayer mode called Scavenger Hunt, where you'll be racing against your enemies to gather the most supply drops that'll be scattered throughout the battlefield.

Medal of Honor: Vanguard is currently brewing in EA's labs with a scheduled March 2007 release date. We'll keep you posted for further developments. Meanwhile, here's the 'Paratrooper' gameplay vid:

Gamespot was able to score an interview just recently with EALA's senior producer Matt Sentell. They talked about the company's upcoming WWII game, Medal of Honor: Vanguard.

The interview is actually pretty short and concise, so stay with us as we give you a quick run-through of the topics discussed:

How will Vanguard set itself apart from other WWII games?: Sentell remains positive that the game's features such as upgradeable weapons, extensive combat dialogue, cinematic moments, enhanced AI and graphics system will set Vanguard apart from the WWII-themed war games proliferating the market right now.

On the Wiimote and Nunchuk: The Wiimote will be used for aiming and firing, while the Nunchuk's analog stick and two buttons will control player movement. Also, Sentell says:

Jumping, crouching, aiming, reloading, and even turning around 180 degrees are all things you can do with the simplest of gestures. These functions are also bound to buttons, so players can choose between gestures and button presses in exploring their own play style.

Online features: Medal of Honor: Vanguard will have split-screen multiplayer for both the Wii and PS2 versions, two to four players in deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and King of the Hill. Vanguard will also have a new multiplayer mode called Scavenger Hunt, where you'll be racing against your enemies to gather the most supply drops that'll be scattered throughout the battlefield.

And just in case you're wondering whether you'll be able to use your Miis in the game, sadly the answer is no. It just doesn't go with the whole war theme, you know? When Gamespot asked which other Wii features the game will make use of, Sentell said that they actually focused on maximizing the usage of the Wii's unique controllers.

Sentell says that they will be revealing more game details as the game's March 2007 release date nears so we advise you keep checking back with us, you never know when these new info might drop. We'll keep you posted.
