Research, creating more props for the scene

I found that the environment didn't feel lived in, meaning it feels like its just a modeled map without any purpose or really any props to make the environment feel full. For example in this Assasins creed gameplay image you can see the props really help fill the scene to make it look like it has a purpose.

I wanted to try and add small, and simple models but ended up on ebay looking at helmets so thought i'd model some. I also created the most simple model of all. the crate..
