In Me 2, the vanguard gained charge. They now had a power specifically geared for getting into poor blank range, shotguns for point blank damage, and I think they still had increased melee but not to the same leel as the ME 1 vanguard.
In ME 3, they maintain their classification as close-range wizard. They can close the gap and strike hard (grenades work best point blank, as do swords and Nova and heavy melee, and stasis is a set up for detonation and thus a nova-analogue), they can blast enemies at a sufficient distance as to not have to get point blank when they don't need to, and benefit from a light load out.
The tech vanguard has charge (havoc strike), nova (heavy melee), shield recovery an buffing (stimpack).
