Grand Theft Auto Online will be updated tomorrow to add Capture jobs to the Creator tool. Capture mode is GTA's take on capture-the-flag, as teams must set traps and place obstacles to make sure their goods don't get taken. Players will be able to create and share Jobs across any of the four Capture variants, including Content, GTA, Hold, and Raid.

To get players back into Capture mode, double GTA$ will be awarded from now until Friday's update when playing any official Capture jobs in GTAO. For example, "Field of Screams" have two teams trying to bring a tractor back to their base.

The game will also be updated with a new title update. 1.12 introduces numerous fixes, including increased payouts for completing various jobs with less than four players. The update also adds the ability to call Lester and have cops turn a blind eye to criminal activity for a short period of time. Many more updates are already planned for GTA's online mode.

      From what I understood of their original vision for GTA:O is that they were sort of looking to make a stand alone game that would act like an MMORPG and continue separately from future GTA games. I'm guessing they're waiting for the next GTA game to expand the GTA:O map and add new major gameplay content not found in GTA 5. It would be foolish of them to wait that long and I hope they realize this and start working on some new map content as well as completely new game mechanics. They need something to encourage players to work together in the Open World. Maybe some sort of territory/base capture and defend feature.
