I wouldn't be the guy to work on the code, not being a game developer or even adjacent to it. I work in ISP/telecom core network infrastructure, so would be happy to help out with questions on stuff like DIYing a set of self-hosted servers for a revival of the game.



Don't you know? Multiplayer for SupCom is alive and well with FAForever:

They also have patches, but they obviously limited since it's all just patching memory.


Yes I'm aware it exists, was thinking more of what theoretical infrastructure might be needed if the full art assets/code/etc for the final release of Forged Alliance was open sourced and further built upon. My understanding is that FA Forever is a group of people who've implemented a server replacement since the officially-hosted multiplayer servers went offline some time in 2012.
