Looking good like it should
So guys, we should start working faster, someone will have a beta soonishish
I'm content with doing 1/3rd of a section a day tbh.
Some more work:

Compiled with fast vvis/vrad, by the way, so expect it to look better.
Slowly working my way through. Dynamic building is next...that will be fun,

Figured I'd better give you guys who don't come to the chat or that an update on what I'm doing. I've made various changes while detailing, such as opening up, adding some side rooms, moving pickups.

Yes, I know, the lighting is bad. I will compile properly when I actually finish the artpass.

In 00004 you should put some metal sheets or something on the chicken wire to show that it is there (for people at long distance) ... and maybe decrease the text res to .1/.1 (if you haven't already, hard to tell)

Wow, amazing progress since I last checked this thread, good work Aly.
The only feedback I can give is visual since I've not played this yet, but there is one thing I will say; you're density of detailing is a tad high in some spots. For example in this area I have no idea where to look. Otherwise it's looking great, I'm a big fan of this area in particular.

The entry point on this should be a little more open.
I'm fine with changing status quo, but not in letting go
Now the world is being torn apart
A terrible catastrophe played by your symphony,
what a terrifying work of art!

I have finished. Compiling beta 1 as we speak, upload should be below shortly.
b1:
Artpass!
- no finale yet.
- no 3d sky yet.
Red spawn will now only spawn people on the closer side to the rest of the map (ie, reducing walk times) until blue captures the bridge.
Red now has a slightly shorter route to CP-3 and the rest of the map until CP-3 is capped.
EDIT: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2347130/escarpment/uploads/pl_escarpment_b1.bsp.bz2
The defensable position at CP-2 now no longer has a solid back wall - you can see the flanking path from it.

the popping in building i was talking about:
you have some rather noticeable light bleeding through displacements
this building has its roof clipped off by skybox
these stairs near cp2 are unclipped
this rock really looks walkable, but isnt
im really waiting for that optimization pass
tracks zfight with displacement here
the fade on those boxes is a little too quick
you should clip beams like these so players dont get caught on them
also, the log. since it's nonsolid in the beginning, it might be too inviting to hide stickies in. when it has finished moving and i jump on it, i get weird physics glitches where i get stuck for half a second, get unstuck, then get stuck again after a few seconds. i really think you should just use a functracktrain for log collisions.

I think there is still a lot of wood and not enough diversity in materials. Also, it feels plain and lighting is dull/flat.
You really got many mistakes (your cliping skill is awful )
I´ll send you a whole bunch of cliping mistakes via steam later.
Here are just 3 screenshots for the thread, so they can be discussed.
IMO you should clip the bridge, it looks like its jumpable.
Maybe make it smaller and wider and unclip it, if you think that it is too much advantage, but cliping it is not good.
Second one is the glass texture you used sometimes. IMO the white looks weird.
And anyway you should make glasses in spawnrooms only oneway, so the blu team can look what is happening in there (would give an advantage to snipers e.g.)
This one should describe itself(the red marked place is clipped btw.):
