Renegade and Elite Squadron were a massive part of my childhood. I remember competing for the front page of the leaderboards and doing pretty well (until hackers using the orbital strike took over). They are class games that really should have ports.

Same, I sunk literally hours into this game since the PSP was pretty much the only thing I had at the time. You'd be surprised how good I was at navigating the joystick controls, lol. The only reason I stopped playing was because my PSP got stolen one day with Renegade Squadron in the drive.

[@jacksonpollard4106]

Fun fact, Elite Squadron is actually just the psp port of BF3. When they cancelled BF3, the psp port was already mostly done and they decided to just release it anyway but change the title. You can see this in a few ways: 1) There are beta copies of Elite Squadron floating around online and they all still have the title Battlefront 3. 2) The story is identical to BF 3 with the same missions and everything. We've seen enough of the cancelled BF3 and cutscenes that you can actually compare the console scenes to some of the same scenes in the psp version. 3) Elite Squadron has the same ground to space battle system that the BF3 console version was going to have. Anyway, there's a few articles you can find but a lot of them mix up the details and so a lot of people think Elite Squadron is its own game, I think not many people are aware that it is quite literally a Battlefront 3 port.

[@jmjedi923]

I've heard that before, I think there's even a leftover image of battlefront 3 title in the files but I might be misremembering

[@VincentGordon]

That's freaking amazing I never knew that fact about it just being a port of cancelled BF3. Here's hoping for a fan remake of the game using Elite Squadron as a base.

[@diverman1023]

I played so much elite squadron online multiplayer. Very phenomenal game. I loved blending the space and ground battles together, you could shoot artillery from the star destroyer to the ground

[@erikgrant6760]

If I remember correctly, the devs on BF3 were having difficulty getting the ground-to-space traversal working properly on the hardware at the time, which is why Elite Squadron utilised the cutscenes to hide the loading (not to mention the PSP had even more inferior hardware.)

[@erikgrant6760]

Here's the leaked gameplay op was referring to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYW1mntnl96rsLM

[@ZKP314]

I still remember being hyped up for this despite not owning a PSP for several years.

[@dylives7667]

Imagine how I was when I finally got a PSP, was browsing the ROMs section and I saw these SW games I never heard of.

[@mandarinduck]

The Ord Mantel mission seems like a reference to Han's offhand mention of them running into a bounty hunter on Ord Mantel in Empire Strikes Back. However it was an event that was already covered by comics completely different, making this another instance of Battlefront retelling an already explained event (Battlefront 2 being like, the one of many, many times the Death Star plans were stolen)

[@empirednw6624]

The plans were changed to being in a series of pieces. Aka every time the plans were stolen only a piece was taken and when they got all 4 they combined them.

[@AtomPunk]

I must have spent over 400 hours playing this game. I took it with me everywhere. I think it was the first shooter I ever played that let you fully customize your character, and I spent hours doing that over and over, perfecting loadouts and looks. The maps were fun, the combat - while a little clunky with no extra stick - was great, and the lock-on feature that kept combat moving made me feel like space Rambo. 😂 I didn't know it got mixed reviews or was slept on until this video, because I always considered it one of the best PSP and Star Wars games. Elite Squadron was amazing as well, but this one will always be my go-to PSP Battlefront game. Thanks for giving it some love!

[@nicholas6900]

The game was ahead of its time with the customization. For a game that came out in 2007, they really packed as much content as they could into the game.

[@kabob0077]

5:55 Korriban in this game is utterly amazing to look at, it's impressive what they've done with this game.

[@apaceofchange94]

I was a PSP evangelist. It’s all I played all the freaking time. This game was so amazing to me and I had an absolute blast playing it. I remember freeloading off a neighbors WiFi (remember the days of no password WiFi??) and playing this game for hours. Every time I see this game nowadays I just get hit with a rush of nostalgia.

[@Axcel2376]

There was a glitch I did in this game all the time to put as much equipment as you wanted on your guy. You flip the WAN switch on, load into a multiplayer game by yourself, put your equipment on (going past the 100 point limit) then flip off the WAN switch. The game will take you out of multiplayer and next time you go into singleplayer you'll still have all your equipment.

[@Confusedn1NJA]

Same dude!

[@akumati86]

The multiplayer for this game with custom classes was really stupid fun. I ended up playing as a unit with like no HP, but rocking a stealth suit and shotgun or flamethrower to wreck havoc like some sort of fucked up TF2 spy

[@TGOPoma]

I remember taking advantage of an exploit where you can get more equipment then it would normally allow through a specific method. That’s how I bugged my friends at school while playing by having all the best gear during our multiplayer games.

Congrats on 100k! I played a ton of Renegade Squadron as a kid and absolutely loved it. It's 100% got its flaws and honestly I haven't returned to it in little under a decade now but I really like the game. Unlike Elite Squadron which was basically a port of a cancelled game, Renegade Squadron was built for the PSP and I think it really shows. Great video as always!

[@TGOPoma]

I still play this on my PSP when the mood strikes me. It is hardly perfect, but I have a lot of nostalgia for it.

[@brandonkirkendall1466]

Oh, you should DEFINITELY do Elite Squadron to wrap up the original Battlefront series! Also, you said that you could play as all the heroes from Battlefront II, but that isn't actually true. You can't play as Princess Leia, Anakin Skywalker or Aayla Secura in this game (according to Wikipedia); however, you CAN play as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress who were exclusive to the Xbox version of Battlefront II.

I originally got my PlayStation Portable just to play this game. I was a major fan of battlefront 2 growing up and fell in love with renegade squadron instantly.

Everything else was ok, but that section was always a struggle, even when I got better at it, I was always tensing up and fearful

[@jayalriik7421]

My favorite thing with the class system was that if you went into multi-player, set your class way over the max limit, and then turned off the psp internet connection, you would keep the over powered class as long as you didn't go back to customize it. Nothing like having a chain gun and full stats with a jet pack.

first battlefront for me, i was soo jealous of my friends with playstation consoles having battlefront. When i got my psp i played this until 4 in the morning lol. good memories.

I spent so many late nights as a teen playing this in bed. It was my first experience playing Battlefront online, since we didn't have an adapter for the PS2. It really was surprisingly functional considering the PSP's online capabilities, but it was kind of crazy to see just how riddled the game became with hackers.

If they took Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron, restored BF2's class system with the addition of a custom class system for just the player, BF 3's ground to space battles, and gave us galactic conquest from Elite squadron, but with EVERY map from BF 1, 2, RS, and ES it would be the greatest game ever.
