Certain Affinity is an American video game development studio based in Austin, Texas. It was founded in 2006 by Max Hoberman and a small number of other ex-Bungie employees and other industry veterans. ==History== Certain Affinity's creation was announced in December 2006. The studio was founded by ex-Bungie employee Max Hoberman. In addition to staff from Bungie, it also includes ex-members of companies such as Microsoft, Red Storm, Origin, Electronic Arts, Digital Anvil, NCSoft, and the now-defunct Midway Austin. The studio's first work was in creating two additional multiplayer levels for the popular Xbox game ''Halo 2''. These maps, called "Tombstone" and "Desolation" (which comprised the "Blastacular Map Pack") were the last ''Halo 2'' maps to be released; they are remakes of levels form the original ''Halo'', called "Hang 'Em High" and "Derelict" respectively. They were released for ''Halo 2'' on the Xbox Live on April 17, 2007. These maps were not released for ''Halo 2'' Vista, but were replaced with two new maps exclusive to ''Halo 2'' Vista: "District" and "Uplift". Certain Affinity worked closely with members of Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios during the development of these two maps. Certain Affinity started working on another project in November 2006, which was revealed to be an unannounced original IP game in the action role-playing game genre. The game's title, platform, and release date have not yet been announced. However, Certain Affinity stated in a interview that it had "spoken with most of the major publishers and there’s serious interest, so our goal is to continue self-funding the company until we're ready to sign a publishing deal and move everyone full time onto this project." Certain Affinity's first original game was ''Age of Booty'', a downloadable real-time strategy game released on Steam, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. The title was published by Capcom on October 15, 2008.〔(Age of Booty Release Date )〕 Certain Affinity created ''Call of Duty: World at War'' multiplayer maps for the retail release as well as maps for the 2nd downloadable map pack. The company helped Valve port ''Left 4 Dead'' to the Xbox 360.〔(Cat Outta The Bag )〕 In 2009, the company announced the completion of Halo Waypoint, developed in conjunction with 343 Industries. In 2010, Certain Affinity collaborated on maps and game modes with Treyarch and Activision for ''Call of Duty: Black Ops'' and First Strike Map Pack 1. The company worked on the "Defiant Map Pack" for ''Halo: Reach'', released on March 15, 2011.〔(Halo: Reach Defiant Map Pack Announced! )〕 The company announced its new game, due to release in summer 2011, called ''Crimson Alliance'', at RTX 2011.〔(Crimson Alliance Announced )〕〔(Current website for Crimson Alliance )〕 Certain Affinity also partnered with 343 Industries again for the development of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', which was released exclusively for Xbox 360 on November 15, 2011.〔 At RTX 2012, Certain Affinity announced that the studio was working with 343 Industries again on developing the Forge map-making tools for ''Halo 4''.
