3->"''The Second Assault had begun. The plan was a simple one: The S.H.C. were to attack from the sea and secure the [[RuleOfThree three]] obstacles: Here; here; and here. This would allow the heavy stuff to get through...ready for phase two. However, the Tediz battle master, the mysterious Professor von Kriplespac was waiting with his giant gun of doom... waiting to blow them back into history. The Tediz were ready to defend, but time wasn't on their side. The question still hinged: Could Von Kriplespac sink the S.H.C. ship, or could the Squirrel attack force break in and thwart him?''"

6''Conker: Live & Reloaded'' is a remake of ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' for the Platform/{{Xbox}} and was released in June 2005. It comes with a remake of the Bad Fur Day campaign and an original ThirdPersonShooter campaign for multiplayer. Ironically, the game has more censored dialogue than the original. It was released as an Xbox Classic in 2018, three years after the original game arrived to ''Rare Replay'', making both versions available on the Platform/XboxOne.

9!!Tropes specific to the ''Live & Reloaded'' version:
10* AdaptationDistillation: The beginning of "It's War", particularly the switch became easier to solve.
11* AdaptationExpansion:
12** The levels have been remade with additional detail.
13** The firing system is more refined for modern gamers.
14* AdaptationalModesty: The single-player campaign gives Conker a pair of shorts.
15* AdaptationalWeaponSwap: Conker initially uses the frying pan from the original game in the game's tutorial area, but when he uses it on the gargoyle, he doesn't fall off the bridge like he does in the original game. When Conker is confused about this, the gargoyle explains that the designers altered the tutorial area a little to trick players into thinking that the rest of the game will be different. Conker then hits the gargoyle with a baseball bat he also picked up, which causes the gargoyle to get knocked back and crushed by a falling boulder. Conker decides to use the baseball bat in place of the frying pan for the rest of the game.
16* AdjustableCensorship: After finishing the Bad Fur Day campaign, you can bleep out or uncensor the profanity of the multiplayer.
17* ArtEvolution: The art in the Xbox remake has greatly evolved from the original game.
18** Conker was given detailed fur.
19* BatterUp: Conker uses a baseball bat instead of a frying pan for most of the remake.
20* {{BFG}}: The Demolisher has these including a bazooka and minigun.
21* BloodierAndGorier: The Tediz in the remake have actual blood, even as cyborgs.
22* TheCameo: Cooper from ''VideoGame/GrabbedByTheGhoulies'' appears in one of the save slots for the remake of Bad Fur Day.
23* CaptureTheFlag: One of the game modes for the multiplayer.
24* ColorCodedMultiplayer: Green for the Squirrel High Command and red for the Tediz.
25* ColorCodedSpeech: The multiplayer characters have white subtitles compared to the original game's multiplayer modes.
26* CombatCommentator: The Squirrel High Command leader and Von Kriplespac are this for the Squirrel High Command and Tediz, respectively.
27* {{Cyborg}}: The Tediz become this for the future part of multiplayer.
28* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation:
29** The Gargoyle in the Hangover chapter doesn't fall off the bridge like he did in the original. Instead he is unfazed by the frying pan, leading to some LampshadeHanging. After which, Conker hits the Gargoyle with a baseball bat, causing the Gargoyle to fall over and be SquashedFlat by a boulder.
30** Downplayed with the squirrel prisoner in the War chapter, who still dies from the HighVoltageDeath, but instead of it being instant, it [[OverlyLongGag lasts longer]] (to the point Conker reads a magazine waiting for their unfortunate grisly demise).
31* [[ExpressiveHealthBar Expressive Oxygen Meter]]: Just like in the original. However, it's got almost triple the length of the original (the original gave you about 25 seconds before taking health away, while the remake gives you about 70 seconds), and when your last bubble goes at about 15 seconds remaining, Conker's head begins shaking desperately before his eyes finally begin to roll back and close and his head droops. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9fW_htHYOo Here it is in action.]]
32* EyeScream: [[spoiler: Conker accidentally electrocutes a soldier until his eyes pop out.]]
33* FactionSpecificEndings: Each of the main multiplayer maps have a different ending cutscene for each side.
34** In Doon, [[spoiler: The Squirrel High Command's ending shows them destroying the Panther King's heart. The Tediz' ending shows that they successfully revived the Panther King.]]
35* FlashForward: The multi-player campaign goes from the past to the future after the third multi-player map.
36* FlippingTheBird: The Great Mighty Poo does this to a dung beetle.
37* GoKartingWithBowser: In the main menu, a group of squirrels can be seen enjoying a drink with a couple of Tediz.
38* HotterAndSexier: More so than the original game. In the remake, Berri happens to be either a porn star or prostitute.
39* KinderAndCleaner: The remake for Xbox compared to the original game for 64. The content itself is intact, but most, if not all, swear words are censored (in the 64 version, only "fuck" and some of "shit" were censored). Some of them aren't even swear words, just vulgar words, like fellatio. Although this is just by default; the online mode allows you to remove the censor bleeps.
40* ManVersusMachine: Or rather, squirrels vs mechanical Tediz in the future.
41* MiniBoss: After defeating the Tediz at the casualty department, a giant Tediz surgeon wearing a green surgical apron and surgical mask breaks out of a container.
42* NoSell: Conker hits the gargoyle with his frying pan, to no effect and Conker's frustration.
43* PlayingWithFire: The Thermophile class is reliant on flammable material.
44* ReadTheMapUpsideDown: In the Three Towers briefing cutscene, both sides get a hold of the map that they had fought for due to it being printed on "Fur Only" magazine. During travel, Von Kriplespac ends up making a wrong turn, which sends the Tediz to the right place due to the map being printed upside down. This results in the Tediz getting a headstart on finding the treasure while the S.H.C. realize their mistake and turn their ships around to catch up.
45* RiversOfBlood: The Spooky chapter has rivers of blood instead of water.
46* SceneryPorn: The game pays attention to details of levels better.
47* ShotForShotRemake: Most of the single-player campaign is this.
48* SmokeOut: The Demolisher can use a smoke grenade.
49* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female playable character is the Squirrel High Command sneeker.
50* SoundEffectBleep: The Great Mighty Poo's song is bleeped with farts. Apparently, the words "twat" and "shit" are far too naughty for a rated-M game on the Xbox.
51* UpgradeArtifact: For the multiplayer, a character can get an Upgrade Orb to improve their abilities until they die.
52* VideoGameRemake: By the time the Xbox remake was released, much of the parody was decidedly out of date, and the profanity was mostly censored - which is odd, considering the Mature rating and the fact that the uncensored track could be unlocked in multiplayer by playing through the single-player game once. However, it uses more blood and gore. In the original, Multiplayer included Lava Boarding, two War levels (one of which was an Assault map with a giant microwave sudden death), tank fighting (co-op if you wanted, 1 gunner 1 driver), and Dinosaurs vs Humans (1 team captures the eggs and returns them to the frying pan at base, whereas the 1-3 dinosaurs on defense have to eat the humans, and the humans just have crossbows). The remake just has some shooter levels.
53* VisualInnuendo: On the cover, Conker sits on a smoking tank barrel with an [[ActionGirl SHC spy]] stroking it. Yeah...
