The studio's first work was creating the [[Blastacular Pack|Blastacular Map Pack]] which included two additional multiplayer levels for the popular [[Xbox]], [[Xbox LIVE]], and Windows Vista game ''[[Halo 2]]''. These maps, called ''[[Tombstone]]'' and ''[[Desolation]]'', are remakes of levels that were in the original ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo]]'' game called ''[[Hang 'Em High]]'' and ''[[Derelict]]'' respectively. They were released for ''Halo 2'' over the [[Xbox LIVE]] (Silver and Gold) service in April 17, 2007. Certain Affinity members worked closely with members of Bungie and Microsoft during the development of these two maps.
