Case Study: Certain Affinity achieves rapid deployment and bandwidth savings with Perforce Helix

Recommendation Leads to Certain Affinity Adopting Perforce

Certain Affinity, an Austin-based game developer known for Halo 2’s Blastacular Map Pack, needed a reliable version-control solution that was quick to deploy and supported distributed teams. During a project one remote client in Irvine experienced bandwidth spikes—syncing large files from the Austin server grew from 1 Mbps to 10 Mbps—creating significant time and cost pressures and prompting a fast decision.

After a brief evaluation and client recommendation, Certain Affinity adopted Perforce Helix for its ease of installation, clear documentation, and strong technical support. Perforce support provided a no-cost Helix proxy setup that enabled on-demand file access, cutting bandwidth use and saving time and money; combined with intuitive tools like P4V and responsive support, the result was smoother collaboration and a solution Certain Affinity confidently recommends.
