Anyone Still Prefer/Play Shock Force 1?

[hypeman]

I recently stumbled upon the Road to Baghdad mod for SF1, yep we're going way back now, getting me in a mood to see if SF1 still had some magic left in it. Unfortunately when I loaded into the first mission I soon realized why SF2 is the standard, with its butter smooth camera movement and fancy drag n drop move orders and what not. 

So I'm curious, does anyone out there still play the original Shock Force often? Dare I say, more than its successor? 

Please drop a comment or feature that I clearly overlooked that makes the original Shock Force worthwhile to you.

I no longer play Shock Force One.  Since Shock Force 2 has everything and more than the original there is no reason that I can think of to play CMSF1.  As far as I know even all the CMSF1 scenarios play in CMSF2.  Some of the mods from the original won't work in CMSF2.  @MikeyD had a very cool Africa theater mod pack that doesn't work in SF2.  Hopefully these mods will eventually be replaced by new improved mods in CMSF2.

Edit to add:

 

 

Of course CMSF2 has a Southeast Asian mod pack by @37mm and friends:

Re Africa mod usable in CMSF2.  That is a great mod.  You have a link?

Am also curious about the other CMSF1 mod sets like:  Balkan; Twilight 2000; IDF; Mali-Pakistan, Iraq etc.  I see quite a few more in my old CMSF1 mod sets folder.

Wow, so much new content being created by both Battlefront and the community it's easy to miss something.  Cool vehicles too.

I gave you a link... as nobody else has access to most of those other modpacks (since the repository shut down) I wouldn't worry about it.

I still have it installed.. basically for nostalgia. I never actually play it now.
