+The '''Blastacular Pack''' is a [[Downloadable content|downloadable content package]] for ''[[Halo 2]]''. It was released on [[2007 (real world)|April 17, 2007]] for $4.00, and re-released as an updated package on May 7, 2007 (still for $4.00), as several glitches discovered in the included content had been fixed. The Blastacular Pack was made permanently free on [[Bungie Day|July 7]], 2007. This download was required in order to play ''Halo 2'' Matchmaking over [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]]. Both maps in the map pack were created by the video game studio [[Certain Affinity]] instead of [[Bungie]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=certainaffinitymaps|SiteName=Bungie.net|PageName=New Halo 2 Maps Revealed!}}

+Due to the pack's release in 2007, it is not included in either the ''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack]]'' or the [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|PC port of ''Halo 2'']], making the content now unattainable for the original ''Halo 2'' game. However, it is included in the release of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
-The Blastacular Pack added the following new content to ''Halo 2'':
+==Maps==
+===Desolation===
+{{Main|Desolation}}
+Desolation is a remake of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level [[Derelict]], set in the jungles of [[Installation 05]].

+===Tombstone===
-*[[Tombstone]]
+{{Main|Tombstone}}
+Tombstone is a remake of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level [[Hang 'Em High]], with several alterations to map layout to account for the differences in gameplay offered by ''Halo 2''

 ==Trivia==
 *The Blastacular Pack takes up 142 MB on the [[Xbox]]'s HDD.
-*The Blastacular Pack content is ''not'' included in the ''[[Map pack|Halo 2]]''[[map pack|Multiplayer Map Pack]] or the [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|PC version of ''Halo 2'']], due to this it is the only ''Halo 2'' DLC map pack no longer available without modding on the original Xbox. Though the maps returned in the base game of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' on Xbox One.
