Wow. You might want to invest in some punctuation lessons.

I've wonder about that myself... and I've figured it out. On the beachhead, there are those purple boxes. Now think about this for a second. Why would someone scatter boxes on a beach that's under attack? Maybe it's for cover and stuff. So beach crap is probably big heavy boxes. Inside the security building. Where the 2 (INCREDIBLY FUN TO KILL) Hunters come out, those are probably the same thing. Inside the Silent Cartographer building, an elite is staring at one, asking for a dent in his skull. Kill him and look at the panel. There's buttons and stuff. But at the top theres antennae. So that's probably a communication thing of some kind. Telling the rest of the Covies to send reinforcements, which they do. These are just my guesses. Use your imagination!

Yes... much like the UNSC boxes, the Covenant have similar devices. Sometimes you can hear the computers working, or they just serve as blockades/equipment sheds. You see the computer ones most often in the areas where the covenant have set up base in a non-Forerunner terrain, but there are exceptions.
