Original campaign in FAF?

[Its Almost Harvesting Season]

I'm wondering if you can play the original Supreme Commander campaign in FAF?

You can, you have to host it mission (map) by mission via the FAF Client , tab Play then subtab Co-op.

You choose the campaign mission (they are marked with faction icons), put in the game name and password (so you play alone) and click Host Game.

Your pc will download the map in question and host it (there will be no network lag for you).

Inside the hosted game (lobby) you got a couple of options on how tough the AI will be and will it cheat resources and similar.

So just to clarify, it won't have any cutscenes? It's simply the maps loaded like a custom map for a skirmish mode ala Warcraft 2?

Not sure about the between missions cutscenes, haven't played them in FAF for a while, but I believe those are missing.

BUT

The whole mission script, NPC chatter and ingame cutscenes are still there. It's not just a map, you still unlock parts of it one objective at a time, with all the relevant transitions and scripted enemy waves. So no it's not jsut a skirmish map, but a complete mission. Apart from some changes to the AI and difficulties it stays very true to the original.

I dont think there are cutscenes, just the heads that talk to you before missions.

Ok thanks. I'm a bit unsure how to best experience the Supreme Commander campaign again; the base game itself is prone to crashing and is a bit awkward with UI and QoL features I'm used to in RTS games over the years. I was wondering if FAF was a better alternative. I suppose I will try to persevere with the original game for now, maybe play on easy so lost time isn't so crushing lol.
