REVIEWS:

GCCC 164
TDM: No Translation (Japanese creator) by wan_kororin socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=1Whielg__kOkYAg47gNYtw
Crazy Prop/Yatch creation on and around a waterfall. Very compact which suits the shotgun. The team which holds the higher ground can make this difficult for the opposition but the map swings around enough to make this less of a problem.
Stunt Race: #^P40 -1.25 FLIP WALLRIDE by P-Forty socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/e4NxT-jsA0iZoIojoXumzQ
The ramps are so smooth! Short lap race with 3 perfectly smooth ramps and 1 excellent super-tight wallride. Effortless once you get into a rhythm. Great example of the stunt race genre
Capture: Zancudo Burning by GM-HOOT socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?ownertype=member&nickname=GM-HOOT&missionId=imTCVhqTO0auoyK3TQKdJw
Seemed ok, any thoughts or advice?
Race: LA MESA  GP by jeffbob1979 socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/remko-the-red1/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/aY0muNDr4ky4h2xpSZoG9A#
Changed this to Sports cars and it worked just as well. Some nice sections through familiar territory. Overall a good technical race with very solid plotting and flow. No major checkpoint issues and a Giant Robot with a big dick to greet you at the start/finish line.
TDM: I Shot The Sheriff by stronktank socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/jobs/job/a-nabrKyvk24n_o1biWOqA
Brilliant TDM. Reminds me of something you would get from COD or Counterstrike. Blue barriers are used simply to contain the map. The location has been seen before in a TDM but I think this might just be the best.
Natural cover and a labyrinth of passageways and paths to choose allow out flanking and serious tactics. Very nice. Crespo_Almeria8 suggests more smg’s which would help


GCCC 165
Race: Osiris Endurance by bellyfluff1 socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/SOyb-rrDOUOWr9cd7XUB8g#
Love this track. Wonderful flow. Very long laps (fastest was 4:06). Obviously belly knows where the CP’s need to go and there are some linked up turns and corners which are wonderful, particularly around CP 20-24. Excellent Race. Recommend 2 laps for events.
Capture: GTA: Dying Four War by ajm_agrajag (terto123) socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/ajm_agrajag/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/Vy_zixK2wUKvEC0KrnPqgQ
Very nice, city wide capture. I know how hard these are to balance especially with 4 teams. Terto gets this just about right. Good mix of vehicles and the obligatory ‘traffic on’ creates atmosphere and options. This does become predominantly a dogfight but the capture vehicles provide moving ground targets focusing the action and makes the job feel more rounded. Bases seem well placed and even. Might suggest bringing the respawn points a little tighter into the map to create a bit more chaos.
LTS: Duck Hunt-#Parking by Crespo_Almeria8 socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=SkQcas_aSEu1XU0c6_9EHA
The Second ‘Duckhunt’ job I’ve played but I prefer the first. 2 problems are a) The sniper tower has a problem where you can fall under the buses and there is no way out. The sniper vs runner element is over too quickly. A majority of the time is buzzard vs sniper but as I mentioned, the snipers are trapped under the bus and untouchable
Race: Nurburgring by Mr_Grandis by hoboinyabackyard socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/RrTAW3USqUirD4g0XJquTg
Very long laps but I guess that’s the point. Familiar roads seen often in a lot of races. Would like to try this in a different class. Supers by default but maybe try muscles, coupes or sports classic for more variation.
Stunt Race: )Turtle Rolller Coaster( by gosccp
socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=K7RGO8NXuUygB-2DcnPdDg
The stunt is EPIC! The race is bad. Personally I would shorter laps and focus on the main attraction. I think the tight alleys and weird back sections add nothing to a job like this. Give me 4 laps and for rides on the twisty-wall-loopy thing!


GCCC 166
Race: Chianski Circuit by iGG_07 socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/remko-the-red1/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/aGaspF78skOIykYl99UYEw
Some nice roads around Grapeseed and this makes good use of them. Kept this on Standard, which is default and it worked out nicely. The Chicane at CP30 needs adjusting, try 2 CP’s instead of 1, this will help direct novice races through the bend
Capture: Aggravation Station by Jibby- socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=1TBX-tvPwEuvwf-gJ9iONw
Im unsure. It actually finished well but I’m not sure the job is 100%. I suggest trying to either take the respawn points off all together OR placing them at or nearer the bases. When you die you have a long ride to catch up. I think of these jobs as ‘expansive’, story-like captures. More suspense than action. This job could work. I suggest toning down the actors at the carpark. It gets messy with a full lobby and then you have the respawn issue. 20 minutes is also a bit long for an Event (I can see why it needs it tho).
Stunt Race: GHG-Majestic WallRide #1 By IGerardHG socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=bx5lpbtqC0i8yQum3f391Q
Very well made wallride, pity I couldn’t do it  . The lap is reasonably short but again involves a tight narrow bit which I think could be done better and in my opinion doesn’t add anything to the race.
Rally Race: !#DIRT TRACK RACER (WRC) By RORY934
socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps3/jobs?missionId=Ir0ZEISFFk-xa1_BWoqQsw
Sanchez will always win around here, the construction/off road track in Blain County has produced a lot of races around these roads but this job strings the corners together really well. The more you play a race like this the more you get the hang of things. The dummy-proofing works well to line you up on the wall but you do need skill to drive along the long narrow wallride which spits you out at the finish line.
TDM: *DM* HIGH-RISE by Trigg-rHappy socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/trigg-rhappy/games/gtav/ps3/jobs/job/-mRI87Me4E63tNc9L74qiw
Insane propping. Triggr is one of my favorite creators. His precision and imagination should be an inspiration to all creators. I love how he uses props in DM’s like others do in Stunt Races (he needs to join the Dark Side and make captures). This plays out in and on a Pyramid structure ‘grown’ out of a high rise building. Masterful use of Train Carriages that provide bothan internal corridor or an upper platform. Seems balanced and keeping it to shotgun maintains consistency throughout.
