Bungie stated that that happens when people try to cheat and sometimes
when a new host is trying to be found.

Just so everyone knows, quitting a game early does NOT prevent you from
losing experience points, which determine your level. If you team ends up
losing, you lose the points. So you may as well stick it out and try, even
if the other team scores early on you.
