Editing List of UNSC crates

{{Era|HCW}}
{{cleanup}}
Scattered throughout [[multiplayer]] and [[campaign]] levels on ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' are crates, or large boxes, that contain supplies for UNSC's ground-based forces. The contents of crates can be identified by their labels, and range from portable generators to armored boots. Although their only actual use in the game is cover from enemy fire, they do reveal a bit about the UNSC military, and play a key role in the environment of maps and campaign levels. They can also serve as cover or platform.

== Halo 2 ==
=== Crates ===
There is a range of different types of crates. This section contains information on all of them, ranging from smallest to largest. Kits are small crates that appear to be carried by Marine ground forces. Barrels contain liquid supplies. Small crates carry equipment used by ground troops, and large crates contain large pieces of equipment for use at fixed positions.

==== Kits ====
===== Rescue =====
[[File:Rescue.jpg|right|thumb|150px|A small medical kit.]]
The first crate can be found only once or twice in the game; it appears to be a small medical kit [[Marine]] medics would use to treat the wounded. It has the word "Rescue" along with the international medical symbol. It is likely able to be found in various campaign levels at Marine positions, but it can only be found once in multiplayer on the map [[Foundation]].

===== Nerve gas =====
[[File:Nerve_Gas1.jpg|right|thumb|150px|A small crate containing nerve gas.]]
This container containing [[VX 7 nerve gas]] can be found in a [[Jiralhanae encampment]] inside the armory. It is placed under another crate so it is pretty difficult to find. There's another one on [[Metropolis]] on top of the building where Sergeant Banks and a turret are next to a medical crate. The crate has been spotted on the multiplayer map Foundation as well. Perhaps it is with a bit of dry humor that Bungie placed this small crate right next to a medical kit within the same room.

== Halo 3 ==
''[[Halo 3]]'' features most of the same crates as seen in ''Halo 2''. Interestingly, the crates in ''Halo 3'' have the exact same labels as in ''Halo 2'', even though the pieces of equipment they represent have been changed.

== Halo: Reach ==
There are several types of UNSC crates in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. The redesigned basic crates no longer bear labels describing their contents and are emblazoned with the UNSC emblem instead. Below the lid, there is a net presumably intended to keep the contents in place. However, all crates encountered in the game are empty. Additionally, the game features black [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Transit Box DR44|DR44 Transit Boxes]], often stacked on [[463L Master Pallet]]s, and heavy [[JW Armory Storage Cabinet]]s used to store weaponry.
