This begs the question, what purpose do all the containers serve? Aside from looting, what are the interactions? You can move some of them around – to no particular end. There is no cover system in the game, so you can't construct makeshift cover from boxes, for example. You can, perhaps, stack them to reach some places – except the game provides much better, quicker options for terrain traversal. I was able to use them once to block a side entrance to prevent enemies from flanking me, which was interesting, but with most maps being wide or open spaces, it's not a common application, and doesn't require the boxes to be lootable besides. You can put things in them – to no particular end, again, since you can send loot to camp from anywhere with no restrictions in 2 clicks. You can break them – for no benefit whatsoever. So what are they here for?.
I really like this message and I share the feeling.
If a feature is useless in a game the feature should not be in the game. Especially if it deserve an important part of it (looting).
