    There is no "set" guide for building a map. First you have an idea, then you elaborate on it, then you start building. Even if you suck at drawing it helps to just imagine something cool that could be in a map and take it from there.

    MLG maps offer by far the most strict guidelines. Look them up.
    Generally though:
    -Lots of cover but nothing too safe
    -Nothing in the maps should give either team an unfair advantage

    Aesthetic maps need to recreate a feeling or an idea.
    -These maps are for looking, not touching

    Competitive maps are usually straightforward, but it's the objects and areas that break the simplicity that make the map, like a man cannon that can take you somewhere quicker, or a power weapon placed in the center.

    Casual Maps
    -Infection

    Race maps
    -You race on them
    -You aren't building this map for human, you're building it for vehicles. After going through a completed circuit a few times you will know if it's good or not.
    -A good race map allows a good racer to stay in the lead...and a better racer to overtake him

    And remember, chicks dig symmetrical maps.
