They are just there... but some do have keyboards...
maybe its a database... or maybe its just there for you to hide behind... kinda like a big, square, purple rock

They're radio's basically...they transmit data from that spot either to a ship in space or somewhere else on Halo.

I would guess communications equipment. It sounds like dial up when you are near them, they got antenas and they have a keypad on the front. Or some could hold supplies...just an idea

Well in some parts of the game they are busted open and there is a bunch of ammo in them (GuiltySpark level), and in other parts they are opened in small areas like a giant pc. Maybe they are a pc/storage thingies...we may never know

XBL: FTG Spartan
But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting in to an infinite pattern.
Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.
Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
I know who you are.
You are Destiny.

there tons of things, supply boxes, databases, radios... watever the covenant need to be in them they're multi purpose

You'll also note that some of them make a computer transmission noise when you approach them. It could be that the size of all their supply cannisters and portable equipment has been standardized to conserve space against wasted space.

The ones with antenna's on the top w/ keyboards are communications devices/radios. The normal boxes are just storage...prolly for ammo, weapons...maybe even bodies...eww.
