Rockstar Games just revealed that "Crews", a new feature in Max Payne 3 and also coming to Grand Theft Auto V, will be crossing over into each game from the other.
This new feature allow players to "join large public Crews or simply create a private Crew that members can customize. In this way, Crews help players keep the fight alive from match to match - and even across titles."
Simply put, these crews are like clans, but can be utilized in upcoming Rockstar games and not just in one title or on one realm. As expected, stats and information on your Crew will be made available on the Rockstar Games Social Club. It will also include a list of feuds that your Crew has with others.

One major way will be with Feuds. In multiplayer games we have a feature called Vendettas – if someone kills you twice, you can initiate a vendetta against them, which lets everyone know that you’re out to get that person. For you, a special X marks their blip when they’re visible to you on the map. If you take that person down, you get extra XP. If they survive your vendetta though, they get that XP.
Crew Feuds are essentially Crew Vendettas: impromptu skirmishes between crews that can spring up in multiplayer matches that quickly spawn a first-to-10-kills battle. You can be playing any team-based game with a completely new set of players, but if you spot two or more members of a crew you’re feuding with on the opposite team, any kills you get against them will count to the overall feud so rivalries will spring up automatically - and when they do, you’ll be notified and the grudge will come to the forefront of the game.
