Modern Warfare 2 map pack imminent

Note to self. Cancel all appointments from 30 March... Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack incoming.

Just when you think you're getting your life back ontrack and weening yourself off an addictive game, the developers only go and release some must-have downloadable content, don't they?!? The swines.

I've played Modern Warfare 2 to death these past few months, attained my 1,000 point gamerscore by completing the solo campaign and special ops missions, and romped around the various multiplayer maps online. Only recently had I retrieved my beloved disc from the drive and started making a dent in the growing tower of games piled up beside my console... now they'll just have to go back in their boxes and continue to gather dust.

The DLC will be Xbox exclusive for 30 days apparently, which has left PS3 players seething on all the forums and news sites. There's no detail on what's going to be included, or how much it will cost, but suffice to say it will no doubt gobble up my every spare moment...
