Shock force is missing several features. Mostly small things but you'll notice them if you are used to, say, CMBS; editor options, commands, few animations, fewer ground types, lack of AI triggers, no shaders etc. That said CMSF with its modules has a huge amount of units, variety and gameplay. (just consider this, in CMBS you get one M1 Abrams variant, in CMSF and marines module you get, what 6, 7 variants?)

Apart the evident lack of shaders you won't get a much different graphic experience, the models are just a bit worse than CMBS, but you won't notice it.  

 

Playing the base game plus the modules you'll feel the improvement of map and missions layouts, which will get better and better; the NATO module sports the best maps/missions/campaigns of the series, according to many. (in my opinion the british campaign was also a masterpiece).

Besides, there's a number of available mods (check BFC repository), one big mod even lets you play in a temperate environment simulating what CMBS does today; not to mention additional campaigns, missions etc.

 

Anyway, talks at 0 when there's the demo to be checked, and it's the biggest demo in combat mission franchise:

Personally I really love CMSF, however I really do miss all the additional features and capabilities in the newer titles.
