I like JIP (Destiny)

I was really skeptical when it was introduced in Halo 4, but I've come around to it quite a bit. I remember going back to playing Halo 3 for a while, and just getting super frustrated every time someone would quit right at the beginning of the game, ruining the whole match.

Obviously joining early in the match makes way more sense, and most of the time when it happens (to me) these days the scores are still below 1000. But I've been joined in games before with my team down by 2000, and have come back to win. Yeah, sometimes there's nothing you can do, but then I just focus on getting one kill or something. It's usually just a few minutes.

I bet there have been loads of time when someone on your team quit and was replaced, and you didn't even notice. I bet you would have noticed being down a player the whole game.

With 4v4 in Destiny 2, it will be even more important to replace quitters quickly. Reducing the time it takes for them to load in would help a lot.
