I am making a DoD:s map.

oh noes, I'm in trouble!

Rouen is an exception

Maybe it was to make it easier to notice which brushes were displacements. The public SDK version of Hammer didn't have the ability to render displacements in the 2D views until a while after release, so I guess they might not have had that internally either. That approach would make it quicker to differentiate between displacements and world brushes.

this probably

Good topic. For some reason (And I have yet to make a DOD:S map)...I always start buildings with slabs of 128 height brushes. It always ends up messing me up in the end though.I didn't see the err in my ways until I took a look at how cs_assault did it. I guess the lesson is to see how the pros do it first.

you better be talking about the css version and even that one has some pretty bad build-flaws project light in wrong angle on the balcony anyone ?

...and not to mention they carves the sidewalk curbs.

They just created regular geometry and converted it to displacement for the bridge, the other thing I never did figure out and just copied the brush into my map where I used it.

That building eventually got cut, though.

Valve built these maps with antiquated tools and there are versions of them probably built on top of eachother going back ... years? So god knows

voodoo magic

I just tried making it using a arch. I can confirm that this is in fact, voodoo magic.

take that low poly version of the bridge - copy it to either side, select all the faces of all three "bridges" and then subdivide

A friend make for my dod_snowblind some displacements towers :
