| DLCs have a very high chance of problems on day one. And that's not even a reason for taking off work for a dlc is silly. Even Dragonborn wasn't worth a day off. Unless you guys are shooting for "First!" for 1250g. |

@6, why should they deserve to loose their jobs? They took a day off to enjoy them self's... that's why you take days off from you're job... To enjoy you're self... :/ you just made 0 sense. I'll jump on after my uploads done to get my maps if it's been fixed then I thinks. Shame for the lack of promotion, the trailers for Halo3's map packs where brilliant, bring back that sort of advertising :( 'I had a dream, that was not all a dream...' |

| @25 I can't see the problem with enjoying your favourite games on your day off even if it is for a map pack. People earn days off for working hard and can spend those days how they please. People have had days off for a lot worse reasons than playing Halo. |

@28 What? Was that meant to be a joke or something? I don't see how that makes sense at all, or how it's actually humorous in response to my comment. @29 Then we don't see eye to eye. I don't really care, to be honest, what people do in their spare time is their business. Just levee-ing in with 6 after 18 claimed he made 'no sense'. I'd personally rather save that day off for something else, especially for a map pack, which I personally believe is best enjoyed over a long period of time rather than one continuous session on the same maps. |

| I wouldn't personally take a day off work just for a map pack, but to the guys commenting stuff like "I hope you get fired" and "some people struggle to get a job" etc... Guys, he didn't say he pulled a sickie. Probably just used some annual leave, I might not have used mine for the same reason, but it's fair enough, nothing to get bent out of shape about. I just took a week off to do nothing but chill out, do I deserve to lose my job? 4 weeks worth of annual leave is pretty standard in most jobs, if they let you take the time, who cares what it's for? |

All the comments about taking days off to play games, and people slagging them off. Who the fuck cares why they took the day off; maybe in the evening they don't get much time to play MP because they spend time with their families or something - who knows and who cares. And I assume that it's the US saying its stupid - probably the fact that you guys only get about 10 days a year annual leave, whereas in the UK it's more like 25-30 days and this time of year any unused holiday needs to be taken before New Year. |

To all of you moaning about taking days off for playing DLC or doing just about anything...remember, you're on an achievement site. Just like how you think it's a fun thing to go chasing after these numbers that don't really mean anything to anyone but yourself(and others like you, of course), maybe they think just the same about these map packs? You know, because maybe that's what they want to do? Because it's fun, their kind of fun. It's obviously much easier to comment without getting a bigger perspective of the situation, though... I WILL admit that it seems a little selfish when you take into account the fact that there's a lot of unemployed people out there struggling to survive, especially those who have a family to take care of. Both sides have something to think about, IMO. |
