I've never really liked this in games to be honest. The last thing I think a game should do is punish someone for exiting. Sometimes people lose connection, sometimes they just have other shit to do. Shit happens.
A prime example of why I hate it is with Fifa. The amount of times I've been winning a game on there only for it to disconnect from their servers. It's a fucking joke. It immediately slaps you with a loss, regardless of what the score is. That's just plain unfair. I can kind of understand if people are deliberately exiting the game before they lose (there should be punishment for that) but I don't see how it could be effectively implemented in cod. Sometimes you're stuck in a shit match. Sometimes you're against people who are way above your own skill level, sometimes people aren't even playing the game properly (this happens a lot with cod, too many 13 year olds 'trickshotting'). I don't like the idea of being punished simply for quitting a game that sucks.
Otherwise I think you're spot on with everything else.
