What is a MA2 file?

These files can also be found in several other contexts:

Game audio and animation: Some MA2 files hold audio data from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. In this role, they may also be known as Maya 2 Animation files, and more details are available on the Winamp site.

3D model assistance: A set of MA2 files is used by Marking Assistant 2, serving as a basis for 3D model files in programs like Mastercam X5.

Game archives: Other MA2 files store animation sequences used within the MagPack system and act as archives for Magicka 2 game data.
