343 Can we PLEASE get some support for the Invasion playlist? The last update of any real kind to it was when the noble map pack came out. And with that playlist being long gone, it is almost impossible to get in a decent game of Invasion: Breakpoint to come up in matchmaking. The playlist has roughly 2000 playing at all times generally, but when it was fresh and new it was way up there and we did not have at least two people quitting each and every game. I would love to see some updates to this playlist. Either in the form of community maps or the next DLC have like two maps for Invasion or something! By March we will end up with a playlist that has only had one update over the course of a year and a half. (Sure there were a couple exploits that got fixed, but other exploits are found anyway so it made little difference other than the one in Boneyard.) Please hear the plea from a long time Halo player and Invasion lover! 
I would hate to see it go. If anybody out there agrees then please comment and show some support for this old and almost untouched playlist. With enough support perhaps 343 will consider doing such a thing. Ok that is all from me.
Step 1: Make invasion Noble DLC required.
Step 2: Add this: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/115769-hushed-apprentice.html
I think making Noble required as well as adding some community stuff needs to be done, we’ve only got 2 maps to play all the time!
Yes… two maps to consistently play for well over a year… I think some changes or additions are majorly needed. I would love to not see Invasion turn into one of those failed attempts of a playlist that get hyped up and then never actually see the light of day… (community invasion or infection, or the thought of putting the winner of that whole forgetacular thing long ago into their respective playlists.) Just something, even two or three community maps would make me immensely happy here and might even breathe some new life in to the playlists!

I support this.
yeah, like title says, that playlist needs moar love
I agree, it is getting stale. I still enjoy it from time to time, but it is so full of quitters it is ridiculous.
Totally agree with this. Invasion is one of my favorite game types and the group I play with hardly lose. The only problem I see with getting more maps in Invasion such as community maps. The maps heavily favor Spartans most of the time. But if they can get fair Zombie maps I’m sure they can get fair invasion maps which I know are out there. I have played them.
I also hope they boost up the rate of dlc invasion maps showing up for voting.

Funny thing is, they said they did do that already. But I sure haven’t seen any results.
There are a great number of community maps and yes it would be difficult to find good ones to add. But a good place to start would be the downloads and maps specific to Invasion, or even the forgetacular Invasion map winner that was never heard of again. So many broken promises by Bungie! I would absolutely love to see 343 make up for that. 
Ugh kind of sad that “topics” on here that stay on the top because of flame wars and such. Even just replies on here of I agree or something would help. Just so 343 will take notice but we need a strong number of people to show some support here please!

I’d love for them to make the Noble mp required. That would give us Invasion/Ivasion Slayer on Breakpoint and Invasion Slayer on Tempest. I’d like them to make it where the Spartan’s could spawn in different locations on Breakpoint T2 and T3.

This X3
Invasion is awesome and it needs more variety. All we have is Vanilla(Boneyard), Chocolate(Spire) and Strawberry(Breakpoint). We need more than Neapolitan.
Not only that but Halo Reach Forge Epidemic has custom invasion nights every so often, I just found out today. And they play authentic invasion maps made by the community. You can go on YouTube and search it up…

Ha. But the strawberry isn’t even available 99% of the time! So we still are stuck with the basics. The only time I happen to see Breakpoint come up anymore is if I am in a group where at least half the players are searching together already have it. Otherwise just playing with one or two friends or even with all randoms, well I have not seen it come up in quite a long time. Adding in some community Invasion maps using DLC maps would increase a usefulness of the DLC in this playlist, or just adding in some community forged maps would make a decent amount of variety come up. More than anything we need that. I should think doing at least that would likely double the population of Invasion. Living Dead has all the people playing it because that is the playlist that all the changes and additions are made to! Then the other big population lists also have a decent amount of additions being made every couple months or so. If Invasion can get the same treatment it could be one of those big number lists too.

What does Vanilla,Chocolate,Strawberry mean? I never knew…

(I will keep this as relevant as I can while answering your question too lol) You know how malt shops have a variety of flavors, and ALL of them have vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry? He is basically saying that the Invasion map selection is still the most basic of basic selections possibles. Also meaning that we need more to satisfy everybody because after such a lengthy time period one would think there would be more to be offered in terms of variety!
-Take out all maps from invasion that is not Spire, Boneyard, Breakpoint, Hemorrhage, and Paradiso.
-Add Highlands, Breakneck, and Ridgeline.
-Take out all gametypes from invasion that is not Invasion and invasion slayer.
