Following a satirical tease last night, publisher Activision has officially announced that the first batch of Modern Warfare 2 DLC – collectively dubbed the “Stimulus Package” – will hit Xbox Live first on March 30.

In celebration of the impending map pack release, Activision and Microsoft have teamed up to host a “Multiplayer Unlock” event, allowing all Xbox Live Silver members to join in on the carnage through March 12-15.

There’s still no word on when the aforementioned map pack will hit PS3 or PC.
