Team Fortress 2
Valve's Robin Walker talks TF2 on Eurogamer is a Q&A on the coming remake of Team Fortress: "In the multiplayer space, you're obviously going to retrace your steps a lot, that's what multiplayer's about. Content you're consuming is generated for you by other players; that's what multiplayer is. And so we were thinking about how many maps we should build and so on, and one of the things that anyone who's played online PC games for some time has noticed is that if we build 100 maps it won't matter; the community's going to choose five or six they want to play and play them to death."
Hellgate: London
Flagship boss Bill Roper explains Hellgate: London on Play.tm is a Q&A discussing the upcoming action/RPG: "We want all of the fans of Diablo to feel right at home within Hellgate: London, but also be experiencing some great new twists, turns and innovations. We're doing a much better job of immersing the player in the world, telling stories and making the character a central figure in the tale. There are more game play mechanics that we can explore because of the ability to play the game from both the first and third person perspectives. And, of course, being in 3D with true physics lets us do some very fun things that we weren't able to achieve in Diablo II."

Btw, Scottish, yes, the original shipped with 6 maps. That was also a mod made by a few guys for free. I was referring to TFC, the Half-Life mod, not the Quake mod. TFC was developed by Valve, not a mod team.
