Personally March 1st is a very ambitious release date but Infinity Ward could have possibly started work on the first DLC towards the end of Modern Warfare 2's development.Microsoft has revealed that its deal with Activision and Infinity Ward to keep downloadable content for Modern Warfare 2 exclusive to the 360 for 30 days.
Speaking with Eurogamer, a spokesperson said "So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first." The same spokesperson also used the wording "content packs" -- not the plural. This may indicate that future Modern Warfare 2 will also be exclusive to 360 for a limited time as well.
In other news, Screw Attack's "Hard News" is reporting that anonymous sources have revealed to them a March 1 date for this first batch of DLC. The official official word is "spring," however, so whatever the case it won't be long now.
As for the time-exclusive for 360, this will no doubt upset the PS3 fanbase but it's only 30 days!
