If I’m not mistaken, Trenchbroom primarily authors for Quake 1 format BSP, which is not as powerful as what you can do with Hammer in regards to things like displacement. Also, seeing as most of the work in HammUEr seems to be aimed at making UE4 and Hammer as interoperable as possible, it seems like a good idea to try to use it.

.map format, not .BSP. BSP needs to be compiled by a compiler that culls faces that won’t be visible, creates PVS and lightmaps. Either way, personally I think building main CSG layout is what I want to use either Trenchbroom or DarkRadiant (Doom 3, which I have more experience with), and everything else can be done in UE4.

I am not sure what displacement is used for in HL2 maps, but I doubt it’s something you couldn’t have done in UE4 using landscape tool more efficiently (displacement sounds something you’d use for terrain).
