Scattered throughout [[multiplayer]] and [[campaign]] levels on ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' are [[UNSC]] crates, or large boxes, that contain supplies for ground based [[Marine]] 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. | |||

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. | |||

=== | ==== Rescue ==== | ||
[[Image:Rescue.jpg|left|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 ==== | ||
[[Image:Nerve_Gas1.jpg|left|thumb|150px|A small crate containing Nerve Gas.]] | |||
This container can be found in a Brute encampment inside the armory, it is placed under another crate so it is pretty difficult to find. The crate has been spotted on the multiplayer map Foundation too. Perhaps it is with a bit of dry humour that Bungie placed this small crate right next to a medical kit within the same room. | |||

Type: VX 7, possible one of Bungies 7 references. | |||

'''History and properties''' | |||
VX (S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]-O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate) is an extremely toxic substance whose only application is in chemical warfare as a nerve agent. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations in UN Resolution 687. | |||
The VX nerve agent is the most well-known of the V-series of nerve agents and is considered an area denial weapon due to its physical properties. | |||
With its high viscosity and low volatility, VX has the texture and feel of motor oil. This makes it especially dangerous, as it has a high persistence in the environment. It is odorless and tasteless, and can be distributed as a liquid or, through evaporation, into small amounts of vapor. It works as a nerve agent by blocking the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Normally, an electric nerve pulse would cause the release of acetylcholine over a synapse that would stimulate muscle contraction. The acetylcholine is then broken down to non-reactive substances (acetic acid and choline) by the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. If more muscle tension is needed the nerve must release more acetylcholine. VX blocks the action of acetylcholinesterase, thus resulting in sustained contractions of all the muscles in the body. Sustained contraction of the diaphragm muscle causes death by asphyxiation. Early symptoms of percutaneous exposure (skin contact) may be local muscular twitching or sweating at the area of exposure followed by nausea or vomiting. Some of the early symptoms of a VX vapor exposure to nerve agent may be rhinorrhea (runny nose) and/or tightness in the chest with shortness of breath (bronchial constriction). Miosis (pinpointing of the pupils) may be an early sign of agent exposure but is not usually used as the only indicator of exposure. | |||
VX is the most toxic nerve agent ever synthesized for which activity has been independently confirmed, although unsubstantiated claims that some of the Novichok agents developed by the former Soviet Union are up to eight times more potent than VX have yet to be proved or disproved.[citation needed] The median lethal dose (LD50) for humans is estimated to be about 10 milligrams through skin contact and the LCt50 for inhalation is estimated to be 30-50 mg•min/m³. | |||
