Although this is neither tf2 nor map specific, this presentation talks about some ideas and theories that may aid your tf2 map or mod creation. It's also interesting just to see how they like to do things

Very useful read. The technical information is a little impossible to use considering we can't actually ask people to strap themselves to an EMG machine or any other device during gameday, but the philosophy really helps you understand how to best get information out of players.
