This is a good video about basics, of course a mixed bag with some errors that you can see often in triple A games (such as making boring filler stuff on purpose for the "pacing", I also hate stuff like the "easy first kill", no wander most of those games feel like the same stuff with different flavour), anyhow if you are new I suggest on take some pen and paper and take some notes.
From time to time I return to this video, among others, to force myself to think about stuff I take for granted when refining a map structure, returning to basics is the best way to make sure your maps are fun to play and navigate.
