Have you played Halo 4 recently? I feel like they finally figured it out: it seems like I only get JIP'd when someone quits out before the game even starts, or maybe in the first minute. I've been playing a bunch of Reach lately, and I actually found myself missing it for those games where the game is ruined by quitters before it even starts.

That being said, it did take 343 1.5 years to figure it out.
