Just to clarify, I am talking about the thumbnail images that are displayed as a preview for the maps that are not based on any of the forge canvases, and built by 343.
I feel like this should be a fairly simple feature to implement. Since the map files probably already include a massive amount of information, a small thumbnail image should be tiny in comparison, especially with the Xbox One. It would also add a lot to the file browsing process as you would be able to actually get an idea of what the maps look like before playing. Although, since this has not been included in any of the previous Halo games, I assume there is a reason.
I highly doubt that this is something 343i and Bungie has never discussed. I am simply curious to why it’s not a thing.
It is more complicated than you think it is, don’t act like you are a programmer, but to be honest this would be awesome!

Well yeah, if it wasn’t more complicated than I thought it would probably be a feature haha. Just curious to how it’s so complicated.
Yes! I’ve always wanted that, gives your maps more personality.
This was approached well in far cry’s editor, screen shots in forge to be used as the thumbnail ?
Hope for this since Halo 3, and It is not so complicated. The only issue is the file weight increase. (~ 2MB, which is a lot for a ~150KB file).
It really wouldn’t be too hard, add a new object called Thumbnail Camera. The picture in the map selection uses wherever the camera is looking instead of the standard 343 one.
YES! This needs to be a thing!

I can see it now, bound to happen Would be a cool feature though, get a preview of what a map actually looks like
