I'm gonna play the Freelancer campaign over the next few days, I was wondering if the Crossfire Mod or any other mods actually improved the campaign or if I should just stick to vanilla?
I've played Crossfire long time ago, but if I recall correctly, it had very fun singleplayer campaign. It included some nice stories, lots of background, Sol campaign, Coalition and Dom'Kavash.

Oh, I didn't know Crossfire had it's own singleplayer campaign. I always thought it was a gameplay/graphics improvement mod. Is it possible to play the vanilla campaign using crossfire mod though?
I dont think so. Vanilla can be played only with original Freelancer, and as soon you install the Crossfire mod, you get its singleplayer campaign. If you're interested in it, you can get more info here.
From what I recall you have to go through the entire vanilla campaign before the crossfire campaign starts, but npcs hit much harder from what I remember as well.
I stopped shortly after Pittsburgh as gameplay balance was a wreck, but maybe it changed by now.
Weird I don't remember crossfire allowing SP story line. Maybe I played it a long time ago. Although discovery 4.84 works with single player. it's a wreck though
Sadly, Crossfire sits kinda' dead in the water at present.
You can play the vanilla campaign with the CF mod - it works fine, however there is one problem. Vanilla was easy enough as it is - with the power boost from CF features, you're quite literally stomping it. It's fun to fool around, but that's it.
The fun beginns when you finish vanilla and the mod takes you directly to the new missions. These are at some points actually really hard (especially late in the game). Prepare though for a lot of endless cruising from A to B - the distances in many CF systems are freakishly long.
