Modern Warfare 2 DLC Confirmed for March

A teaser ad for the first DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has appeared.

The first downloadable content for Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will arrive at Xbox 360 on March 30, Activision revealed today. As pictured above, the publisher launched a teaser site with a heavy satirical statement, saying that the DLC is a cure for a disorder known as “Mapathy”.

Infinity Ward’s Rob Bowling first tweeted the link to the Mapathy site:

“http://www.mapathy.com – Feeling the effects of Mapathy? It’s okay, the cure is hitting #Xboxlive in just 3 short weeks. #MW2″

The Mapathy site explains that ‘The Cure’ i.e DLC is coming on March 30th to Xbox Live.

“Mapathy (n.) [map-uh-thee] (often expressed as, “How the hell did you know I was there?!”) is a state of indifference to the same old maps one has been playing for the last several months. The Mapathetic individual no longer derives pleasure from blowing up people hiding in the cockpit or on top of the crane. More than 20 million people may be at risk for Mapathy.”

THE CURE IS COMING TO XBOX LIVE MARCH 30th, 2010.

Remember, Xbox Live MW2 gamers get this DLC some 30 days before PS3 gamers. I guess PS3 owners will have to continue suffering from Mapathy for a short while yet.

Meanwhile, take a look at this video that contains images and some gameplay from the new maps:
