frigates are 100%, definately in the million ton range without a doubt in my mind, already been over this in another thread before. they are longer, taller, wider than the seawise giant (biggest ship ever constructed, loaded weight is soemthing rediculous like 500,000 tons and the hull of that is only about 3 - 4 centimetres of steel, i know titanium isn't as heavy as steel but frigates have like 60 centimetres of titanium plating and thats just the armour, there will be another layer below that which will be the actual hull containing the atmosphere. not to mention fuel and stuff, frigates are absolutely enormous. also im sorry but there is no canon reference as far as im aware to UNSC anti-gravity, them having such technology would be totally illogical. longswords have wings for example for atmospheric flight, why have wings (for lift) if they have anti-gravity technology? think the whole frigate coming in atmosphere thing was just stupidity on bungies part, trying to do something to seem cool without giving it much thought. so personally i think for the sake of keeping halo grounding in reality the developers should stop being idiots and stop having half-kilometre long spaceships floating, magically in mid-air without giving a damned good excuse why that is happening!
