What was your inspiration to create UBA-SWAT?

I originally had a modified version of the ProSWAT mod back in the days of Close Quarters Battle. When I bought Elite Edition I wanted to convert my custom mod. I put that on hold when I saw all the new mods appearing. I was already a regular visitor of all of the SWAT websites and when I saw the high rating for Armed Forces I just had to download it. It was the first fan mod I got for Elite Edition. After a few hours play I realised there were things I didn't like about it such as the new faces, gunsights, gunshots and tracer fire. I set about customising it for my own use and included the changes I made to ProSWAT. I then merged several weapon mods that I had downloaded. That was all UBA-SWAT was back in November 2000. It was only 5MB and was never meant for public release. As time went on I started doing more and more work on it. It got to the stage where I was doing so much I decided to aim for a public release.
