The Blastacular Pack is a downloadable content package for Halo 2. It was released on 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 July 7, 2007. This download was required in order to play Halo 2 Matchmaking over Xbox Live. Both maps in the map pack were created by the video game studio Certain Affinity instead of Bungie.[1]

Due to the pack's release in 2007, it is not included in either the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack or the 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.
