Agree. That is a sexy torrent of water.

With alpine trees, I'd do that anyway.
I'm glad people like it, it was really just meant as a quick setup to see how my concept for the area looked. Listening to your feedback (thanks, by the way - much appreciated), here's a more final pass over the area.
As for the wall, I'm going to slice it in half. Part will join with the Blu garage while the other part will become part of another cliff face. I'm not totally sure what's going to go in the gap between these two structures, Maybe a pile of supplies like this.
Editing this because it's not worth a new post:

What if you placed the stream at the bottom of a cliff? It'd be cool to see someone fall in and be swept away by the current but I guess that's too much work when a simple divider works fine.
You technically still could, you just need some trigger_push brushes and (eventually) a trigger_hurt.

Oh wow I didn't even notice the water was displaced, I'm sure if I ask how you did that someone will just point me to a tutorial so I rest my case... :3
Looks like someone was looking over Thundermountain 
. Love the stream, makes me realize I havent added the water torrents to my map yet.

It's not pretty and it's far from finished, but I'm so glad to be making progress taking down that huge wall I'm gonna post a screenshot anyway.
I've decided to make a rough pass over the entire map (as I should've done in the beginning) to tie the areas together, this is the start of that process. When I'm finished and have a complete map I'll start to go back and make things pretty.

By taking away the wall like that does it cause Vis problems? People should be able to see the Blu spawn from there during RJ's or Sticky jumping right. Will the skybox show Blu spawn, but still allow Vis to be done right or am I missing something.
Skybox (as in the 3D construct) need not contain any map geometry. If you place a skybox wall between two locations, they can still see each other. I don't know precisely how VIS handles this, though.

Wait I can't picture where those screenshots are, I loved it before when you were doing the side-by-sides!
Anyway, doing a first pass should be quite helpful. Any chance of a playtest at some point, just for funsies?

It's been a while since I posted an update, so here's what I'm working on now.
I've switched styles slightly to something more modern, rather than the abandoned mine I was originally planning.
I know I've blocked up a possible route here, so I've also done an alternate version that matches the original layout better - I can switch between the different versions with visgroups.

That looks fucking amazing. It makes me want to play this map even more.
I'd go for the one in the inset (open route).
I was pestering bots the other day from there as a red demo.
