I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a middle of the week random update showcase, like with the defiant pack.
they really only did that cuz of the leak, they knew the forums would be ablaze with spoilers and they cant just go banning everyone. so they probably just sped up the date of the official announcement. notice there isnt an actual date, just "march". i doubt they even picked one yet. . .
Well if they got it down to the exact month it comes out, then it's probably already finished and ready for downloading, but they want to keep us waiting a little longer first.
Actually all it means is the maps are finished, just the playtesting hasn't finsihed yet. When the leaked happend, Bungie and company jumped on the announcement knowing, "march" was a good time frame.
The original announcement was probably going to take place in March and the maps were probably going to be released in late April, early May. Allowing a proper amount of marketing time, plus giving them a chance to compete with any summer blockbuster.
NOW however with March as a release date, they can make the date the 31st, if any last minute problems or changes come up. This also gives them a good month of marketing and makes Bungie and Microsoft look good for springing a suprise DLC on us. Cause there are people like me, who had no clue any DLC info was leaked before the mid week announcement.
Really I wouldn't expect the New Maps on my HD any time before March 17th.
