Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron (port)

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron used to be a PlayStation Portable exclusive game until marketing allowed LucasGames to port it to the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii (although it didn't do very well), and the PC. There were some fixes and new items added to the game. For this feat, LucasArts, Pandemic Studios, and Rebellion worked together to port the game. A Nintendo DS port was planned, but scrapped.

Fixes
The Blaster Rifle's clip size has been re-expanded and the fire rate was accelerated.

The Shotgun's fire rate has been accelerated.

The A.I. has been improved upon (ex. Hero A.I. always targeting the player over more dangerous soldiers or vehicles).

Instead of regular Luke Skywalker on Hoth, now Pilot Luke is the Rebel hero on Hoth.

Additions
The maps Coruscant Jedi Temple, Dagobah Swamp, Death Star, Felucia Marshland, Kamino Clone Facility, Polis Massa Medical Facility, Tantive IV, Jabba's Palace, Utapau Sinkhole, Cloud City, Yavin 4 Arena, Rhen Var Harbour, and Rhen Var Citadel, missing from Renegade Squadron, have been added to the game.

Hero Assault has been added to the game, and XL has been re-added to the computer.

Open Space has been added to the game's Instant Action mode.

The Wrist Blaster, Blast Cannon, Repeating Blaster Gun, and Bulldog RLR have been added as primary weapons.

The Incinerator Rifle from Battlefront II has been re-named the Searing Rifle and added as a primary weapon.

The Commando Pistol, Mortar Launcher, and Radiation Launcher have been added as secondary weapons (the Mortar Launcher has less ammo but does more damage, the Radiation Launcher does less damage but poisons enemies nearby).

The Time Bomb has been added to explosives.

The Elite Rifle is a primary weapon unlockable (50 kills with the Blaster Rifle).

The Precision Pistol is a secondary weapon unlockable (35 kills with the Blaster Pistol, 15 kills with the Commando Pistol).

The Beam Rifle is a primary weapon unlockable (30 kills with the Sniper Rifle; at least 5 need to be headshots).

The Flechette Shotgun is a primary weapon unlockable (25 kills with the Shotgun, 25 kills with the Blast Cannon).

Acting as a commander and adding soldiers to your squad has been added to the game.

Aayla Secura, the hero on Felucia, has been re-added to the game.

Silri has been added to the game as an Empire hero, but that is technically incorrect, since she worked for the Zann Consortium.
