I keep jumping into matchmaking, only for 2 or so of my team members leave about one minute into the game. In Team Slayer, that'd leave me with one other guy versus four, and depending on the map, that can be even more imbalanced than it may seem. I get the impression that generally its because they get into a few brawls, lose, and so they leave us to our demise. 
 
Problem for anyone else? It's really killing the multiplayer for me at the moment, especially considering the 30,000 or so credits I need to rank up.

Yeah, people are sore losers.

I usually stick to Invasion or Big Team Battle but yeah, it sucks. I'm glad Bungie at least try to scare people off from doing it with the 15 minute ban thing.

Happens to me Invasion all the time too, because I generally like to play the objective based modes over 'Slayer' which is boring as hell.

Yes and it's a still a pretty big problem. You should have the option to forfeit without penalty if you're outnumbered 2 to 1.
 
I'm glad people aren't forced to join games in progress, but it's ridiculous when you have to face impossible odds.

Well, if those people keep leaving the game, I think they get penalized where they could actually be on probation from matchmaking. So lets hope this stops people from leaving from now on because I'm sick of it too.

I'm running into this problem all the time, and I think there should be larger penalties for this kind of behaviour. Some kind of XP penalty, maybe. And I agree with Octaslash: there should be a forfeit option out there like that.

I do this, but only when it's Slayer Pro. I refuse to play that game mode. Okay force us to use DMRs, I don't care, but for fuck's sake, don't take away the pistol! 

This happens to me every time I play Invasion. All the teammates that get off to a bad start just decide to leave, and it becomes me and two other people against the entire opposite team. Why can't I be on that opposite team? Their people never quit!

Not necessarily. I've quit a few times because I personally don't enjoy getting spawn-sniped. I play the game to have fun. That's not fun. "

You should at least try to get as many kills as possible. You'll walk away with more experience. "

I only leave if I already have other teammates that have left, and there's really no point to continue, but I think leaving would occur a lot less if Bungie had better playlist selection. I don't even play team slayer because of the likelihood that I am going to get into a mode that I don't want to play.

Bungie temporarily bans players from leaving/getting booted too many times.  It happened to me last night; I don't know how long the ban was but it was longer than just a couple of games' worth of time.

Happens a lot to me, I wonder if they disconnect or quit though either way it sucks when you have to play on.

In the situations that I quit it's because it's literally impossible for me to get anyone. Like yesterday, when I did team doubles on Pinnacle, both of the enemies were in separate towers with sniper rifles and I was spawning out in the open each time. Cue getting killed every time I spawn. "

The Team Sniper thing happened to me not long ago, and yeah it's a pain in the ass, but people seem to leave my game before anything remotely annoying can happen. Like, they've died once or twice on a map that doesn't even really support sniper spam, or whatever you want to call it. They just leave, and it's killing me.
