*Update: Airplanes make for a perfect environment to write reviews lol*

' Inside The Bunkerby jayaf2k13



Highlight: Pretty short video no highlight.

Review: jayaf2k13 We all love the new bunkers. I personally haven't bought one but I've had the chance to run around inside them and they're great. Placing an LTS inside the bunker must've been some pretty technical glitch-work, and I can't even tell how this guy did it. Really cool stuff! However my only negative comments would be that there was a lack of weapon pickups (most likely due to the glitchy nature of this creation) and some of the interior rooms had invisible floors. All in all I enjoyed this one thoroughly because even though you only had a pistol and had to conserve ammo, the glitched job location actually made it so you couldn't look on the map to tell where the enemy was, forcing you to utilize your mini-map and prepare from close-quarters, and also allowed you or enemies to hide more easily.

Assassin's Greed by Mr. Echo



Highlight @ 15:35 - Sorry Adam lol

Review: Really great layout and design for this LTS from Mr. Echo , as usual. 3 teams start on a triangular battle-field over top of water with some various pistol pickups. The name of the game is sneakiness, as the name implies. Some areas of cover lead to a tense, central-focused battle involving swimming, hiding and running. However each section of the triangle also has a sniper platform at the back-end with a long ramp leading up to it, with a parachute so you can bail quickly if you choose. It's definitely the best spot on this job IMHO, as you're able to pick off those with the pistols down below. However, what's cool about it is that the sniper platforms are all blocked from each other's vision, so if only snipers remain someone has to make a move to finish the round.

-JJ- A Campers Dream by jjn1lfc



Highlight @ 8:25 - When Instagramer's Melee

Review: 2 rooms, 1 connecting staircase, and a whole lotta melee combat. A simple yet effective design by jjn1lfc that provides quick, entertaining rounds of melee combat. Even though it's a small, simple map, the teams were able to employ a few different strategies ranging from both teams bum-rushing each other and fighting on the centrally connected staircase, to one entire team camping and waiting for the fight to come to them. All strategies provided hilarious results, and although simple, this job was lots of fun.

Simple gang fight by @greenwich_obsidian.exe

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 11:00 Attempting a raid but ... the police.

Review: It's your gang VS another gang in another part of the city in this LTS created by Tesseractor . Both teams start at urban looking locations with a load out of smg and shotgun type weaponry and some cars to boot. Police are turned on so what starts as a 'simple gang fight' quickly escalates into multiple shoot-outs with police and enemies alike. A blue icon vehicle (A super car I believe?) and some extra weapon pickups in the middle draw teams towards a central location, but sometimes both teams will camp their base, too. My only complaint would be that the distance between the two bases / spawn point areas was a bit too large. Other than that I had fun! I just attract police too quickly, so I didn't last very long lol.

RNG TOY SOLDIERS LTS№2 by awesomeshaun

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 06:08 Thwarted by JJ

Review: Extremely well laid-out RNG arena by awesomeshaun consisting of two 2-story buildings, inside a large cube, with interconnecting basement levels, a central bunker, side towers with karin technicals for turrets, hvy insurgents for turrets inside and outside the buildings and even an Annihilator helicopter if you wanna get crazy with it. I personally suck at RNG style maps, so my goal was to try to hide, stay alive and pick off some enemies from a good hiding spot. Alas, the superb level design had me surrounded pretty quickly lol. I was also attempting to use a turret which, in hind-sight, would've probably been best suited for free aim. Either way I really enjoyed this job from a gameplay standpoint, and it was visually pleasing as well!

$ SNIPERS VS STUNTERS $ by GNPORTUGAL

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 15:00 fabinhoo tearing it up

Review: I'm a huge fan of the Snipers VS Stunters phenomenon started by CCC_010 and so every time I see a genuinely unique, new approach to this game mode in a creation I get pretty hyped. GNPORTUGAL does an excellent job of putting a new twist on things by making it so that the STUNTERS have to not only drive up a large ramp and 'halfpipe it' within view of the snipers to gain enough speed to accomplish their goal, but also use that speed to hit ramps fast enough to be able to squeeze into one of two carefully sized entry-ways that are inside a building positioned behind the snipers platform. If they successfully enter the building with their car they then have to parkour their way to one of two hallways positioned to the sides of the sniper platforms. These hallways contain RPGs and two openings where they must utilize their RPG skills and peek out, shoot a rocket and avoid getting sniped. Overall it's a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it!

CARMAGEDDON - TAMPA TANTRUM - tectac by tectac

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 11:37 Almost snuck up on Heph.

Review: First things first I want to apologize for including a non-crew created job in the event. That was a mistake. HOWEVER; this job was a ton of fun. In case you didn't know TecTac is kind of known as a supreme glitcher for GTA creations, and this LTS is no exception. Several of the gun-running vehicles have been modded / glitched into a closed arena at a construction site. You start off next to a bunch of the gun-running tampas (don't know their exact correct name) that have mortar and turret, are given sticky bombs and you even get stun guns, which is crazy. Anyway you have to avoid or kill a bunch of actors while battling the enemy team with all of this at your disposal. It got so crazy I noticed a bit of frame-dropping but sometimes when you unlock goodness using mods it's to be expected. Loads of fun!

Extreme RPG vs INSURGENTS by loftonian

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 13:35

Review: I'm not gonna fully review my own job but I will say that my goal was to put a new twist on the old, popular RPG vs INSURGENTS, by making it so the INSURGENTS fly up really high and all fall in a general vicinity on the partially destructible platform and sort of have to 'chase down' the RPG team by destroying everything that gets in their way in an attempt to knock them off / run them over.

- Avalanche Deathrun - by VASCONI_

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 11:24 It could have been epic lol

Review: This is an avalanche style LTS created by VASCONI_ that has the runners really wishing they had stayed home that day. The goal for the runners is to make it to the top of a large slope, grab RPG / Grenade Launcher / Sniper rifles and take out the Sniper team by any means necessary while avoiding falling vehicles and explosives. Easier said than done. All the vehicles / explosive dynamic props tend to kind of fall all at once, so if you rush ahead you're gonna have a bad time. We eventually figured out you could be 'safer' by hiding in the corner at the start and waiting out the destruction, but it didn't always work out. Also my only complaint would be that the sniper team is a bit too difficult to kill in that their area is too large. Pretty cool avalanche job, I liked it!

No Returns Accepted 2.0 by JC2-FAN-FOREVER

SPOILER: Click to show

{Click Here To Watch Video}

Highlight: 21:17

Review: In this LTS created by JC2-FAN-FOREVER 2 teams start on raised platforms over the stadium with a bunch of sticky bombs and Brawlers as their chaos vehicle of choice. The platforms lead to entrances on either end of a giant bowl with a long platform in the middle connecting the two sides. The name of the game is speed in this one IMHO, the goal being to blow up the enemy with your sticky bombs as fast as possible. But be careful! Even though you can wall-ride the bowl shape, if you fall down to the bottom there are holes you can fall through which will eventually disqualify you due to the out-of-area countdown timer. I enjoyed this job and definitely got some good kills in. Driving skills and sticky bomb skills are a must on this one!
