If your starting it on ctf, you probably didnt place the flag spawns, try slayer

Well, that just comes with practice. I recommend taking some modeling tutorials online so you can learn those skills. The tutorials don't need to be anything about maps or games, just learn how to model with polys and really see what you're doing to create different kinds of surfaces or shapes. Once you have that "skill vocabulary," it's just a matter of letting your imagination write the story.

Did you add grenades in the Starting Equipment section of Guerilla?

Did you add spawn points for only one team?
