This has got to be the hardest type of map to make, the fact that there isn't a single one in matchmaking is a testament to this.

It is indeed difficult to build; however, the reason none are in matchmaking is because the Invasion playlist supports 4 player splitscreen. Most Invasion maps probably don't run well with 4 players on one box.

Until 343i lowers it to 2-player splitscreen, we wont be seeing community Invasion maps in the playlist. But to agree with you again, it is indeed difficult to build, which is probably why 343i haven't lowered the party size. Maybe they need to be convinced...

Because it's impossible to make a good Invasion map. Look at how miserably Bungie failed at it. They couldn't even do spawn areas right.

I'll check it out and see, but I have my doubts.

It's only impossible to make a good Invasion map for 4 player splitscreen. You can still make an Invasion map that supports it, but the amount of downsizing you'll have to do wont be worth it. It'll feel very barren and empty.

343i just needs to lower it to 2 player splitscreen as the max. Then we can get community maps in there. Whether or not those community maps are good though is the real question we should ask

So the on the disk maps and one DLC map, have horrible respawn zones for splitscreen compatibility?

No that's obviously a result of poor design. The one on Breakpoint is a no-brainer.
