"Every Bullet Counts" - New Adversary Game Mode in Grand Theft Auto 5 - GTA5

Looks like the maps are quite small, you only get TWO bullets per round and ONE gun!  You have to make your shots count, or restort to melee weapons (if turned on).  Read more HERE!

Two bullets. One life. No mercy. The assemblage of GTA Online Adversary Modes for PS4, Xbox One and PC grows stronger today with the release of the brand new Every Bullet Counts - an intense Last Man Standing variant with a unique twist to keep you on your toes and constantly on your guard.
With no safe place to hide, four players go up against each other in a confined space with a very limited arsenal, just one Marksman Pistol and two bullets to take out three opponents. Once you've exhausted your ammo, you'll need to resort to crafty melee attacks with your Hatchet or Machete to make it out alive.

GTA Online Freemode Events DLC Live!!!

The new DLC for GTA Online has been released and is live, while going through the world you can
toggle the events to trigger for you or not, so you can do your normal harassment of other players ;) and not be bothered by these new features, but from the sound of them they're going to be very fun to play in.  Penned In sounds exactly like Battle Royale in H1Z1!!! Check em out!

Penned In – A vehicular free-for-all to stay inside an ever-shrinking and always-moving dome. If you're caught outside the dome for more than a few seconds you'll blow up and be eliminated from the competition. 

Criminal Damage – Rack up the biggest property damage bill you can before time runs out. Equip your biggest weapons and go to town on anything and everything in sight. 

Hunt The Beast – Players team up to track and kill the beast – a randomly selected player with superior speed and extra health – before it can collect 10 checkpoints scattered around the world within the time limit. The beast is invisible on the mini-map save for whenever it collects a checkpoint, which will cause it to blip for 10 seconds (and increasing in duration with each checkpoint collected). 

Challenges - Longest jump; longest skydive; longest wheelie; most vehicles stolen; most near misses; lowest parachute deploy; longest bail from vehicle; furthest distance low flying; and more. 

Moving Target - A vehicle is blipped on the map, the first player to deliver it to the marked destination wins. 

Kill List - A vehicle is blipped on the map, once the requisite number of players enter they must take out as many waves of enemies as possible. 

Kill List Competitive - Same as above, but multiple vehicles are blipped and players compete against each other to rack up the most kills in the given time limit. 

Checkpoints - 120 checkpoints spawn in a quadrant of the map. Players compete to collect the most in the given time limit. This mode comes in two variants: land & sea checkpoints and air checkpoints. 

Time Trial - A persistent blip on the map where players can try to beat the Rockstar par time and world record on a route that changes weekly. 

Hold the Wheel - A target vehicle is blipped on the map for 5 minutes. Players compete to be the one in the vehicle when the timer expires. 

Hot Property - Players compete to control possession of a blipped briefcase. The longer you have it, the more points you earn. 

Dead Drop - A briefcase is blipped for players to collect and deliver to a location. Players compete for the chance to deliver the briefcase. 

King of the Castle -The first player to a blipped location becomes King, and gain points as long as they remain King. Players compete to kill and become the King.

Video : Mis-Adventures In PAYDAY2! S01E03!

In this episode we noob it up and pull a "Ray" near the end!  One of the cool aspects of the game, if you're playing with others, is "chain" missions together which take place over a number of days.  In this case two friends and myself  had just performed a smash and grab at a jewelry store and the next "scenario" was to actually escape after our initial getaway vans tires are shot out!  So check out the video below to see if we in fact do succeed in our get away! (fyi, my mic didn't record so all you hear are my two friends and a friend of theirs they had on the skype call)
