The off-grid models contrast way too much with the straight edges on the brushwork. Maybe texturing the models and geometry differently from each other will make it make more sense? Or simplifying the model?

Doing some displacements on that geometry will fix that right up.
I'm actually really diggin' those rock models, make the ground itself a tad more jagged and you'll have a pretty looking map.

It's going to look at a lot better when they're all displaced, and there's a lot more color variation to come, some vegetation, some surprises, but you can kind of look at this to get the idea down:

Saw on polycount then came here to see you posted here and thought you would be giving us a little gift... *coughrockscough*

I'm kind of a tease, I guess.

You are now looking at hell itself.

You could've func_detail'd it and cordon'd a cube around it. Would've been interesting o-o

Why cordone, it took up well outside the boundaries in hammer. (More than 37,000+ Hammer Units)

You can cordon it instead of sealing it inside a skybox.

Didn't realize it was so big, though.

It looks like a scientists version of the 27th dimension

And 2nd cap is "outside" again! Now with 30% extra rocks!

God, I'm so bad at making my mind up, I already have new ideas on what it should look like.

Is that bridge and the droP down the only way onto the point?

Nope, there is a path around the back of the rock just to the left of the point, you can also see a few pixels a bunch of crates that allow you to jump up the side.
