Campaign Missions need to be simplified
I know there are players not happy with the mission making and playing with this game. Not only they are tough but also they are too dull on a fun factor. There's barely any fun factor in most of the missions. For example, GDI Mission 08. That mission was absolutely ridiculous. No one can build an Orca Bomber even there's only one on the field, Tiberium is so limited to harvest nearby the GDI airfield base and too few units to play with that aren't strong enough even the toughest Nod units out there. The number one issue with most campaign missions is the limited amount of Tiberium put nearby a building base unlike the ones from the original Tiberian Sun.
As for difficulty, that was berserk. What I thought based from mission difficulties:
Easy --> Hard
Medium --> Brutal
Hard --> Impossible
Suggestions on future patches:
1) On some campaign missions, starting amount should be around 10000, not 5000 or less, even with limited Tiberium, and that makes playing the mission longer than usual.
2) Need more Tiberium nearby a building base on certain missions. Tiberium re-growth should be the same as C&C3.
3) Helipads should cost 500, not 1000. It should be the same amount from Tsun.
4) Make AI spawning units and enemy units on the field less in easy difficulty, not by an insane amount. QUICK_EDIT
It would be nice to see easy difficult made easier in the future. Although I'm not sure if you can change triggers to activate only on certain difficulties.
I tried to mimic TI's mission style with my own campaign, and although I can complete the missions generally, it's contingent on me having insider knowledge on how the map works.
Most TI missions are made in such a way that you really can't win on your first try. This just seems unfair to me, not challenging. QUICK_EDIT

What seems to be required to win most of the TI missions is good unit management skills and understanding how the different units work. I would say the difficulty levels seems to be quite ok, but on the other hand I didn't try playing on easy.
It seems that some might underestimate for example infantry, which made me win about 60%-70% of the missions, while I rarerly used heavy tanks (too expensive, breaks too easily).
I would disagree about the money being too low, as there will always be either too much money or not enought. Low amounts of money definetly makes it more important to build the right things, rather than making a tank spam for example. QUICK_EDIT
Build more refineries; having at least 2-3 will really make a difference in your economy. Also build more barracks and war factories as they increase production speed of units.
As Agent Z said above, infantries will really help as they are cost effective and efficient. Getting vehicles are often expensive and takes a bit longer to build them compare to infantries That isn't to say to not build vehicles, just don't make them your central units. A good army is a balance of both infantries and vehicle and utilizing their roles to the fullest. QUICK_EDIT
go into the rules and adjust it to your bidding. nothing wrong with modding a mod. tiberium growth and value is easy to adjust. _________________ Free Tibed!

You could also edit the maps themselves. Just open up Final TI and access the "missions" subfolder inside the "missions" folder. Add more units or credits to your heart's desire then save. It'll prevent you from playing online until you do an update to remove the editing though. QUICK_EDIT
Nope. It doesn't prevent you from playing online.
It will warn you that you are incompatible, though if the change doesn't affect the game (eg, changing a map you aren't playing), you will be able to play just fine. Though the others will also see that you are incompatible (or supposed so) and may tell you to patch. _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
