Why does Halo 5 allow us to waste boosts?

I never understand why they can’t warn us we are being thrown into a battle that has already commenced so we don’t lose a boost on match we could’ve actually won?

They don’t get wasted anymore.

They don’t? Because I was thinking the same thing. Also don’t like that sometimes when thrown in the middle of a fight sometime I can’t access my req’s at all. This happen to anyone else?

Boosts do get returned now OP, might take a game or two but you will get them back

> Many of you likely caught the news last week, but we’ve made an update to Boosts to ensure that they’re only cashed in (spent or used) if you satisfy the conditions of the boost. For example, if you play a Mission Victory and lose, rather than lose the potential bonus and the card, the card will now be returned to your collection. You should still, however, go for the W, and be proud when you get it. This update is particularly helpful in the event of a disconnect or other weirdness, and we hope it makes your RP and XP gains all the sweeter.
