"but you already knew that, I mean, how couldn't you?
Only when no Human brick is left atop another, shall we be satisfied with your destruction.

These two sides are incredibly dim-witted. While they have the techology to make giant cannons that destory ships, and make a mobile city that travels through space, neither of these sides ever made robots. Yes, robots. They could send some sort of robot down to clean out rooms, scout an area, without having the need to waste troops. Who else agrees?
Umm, the UNSC *Does* have robots, drone fighters, JOTUNs etc, they just don't have terminator-style robot infantry. Which is frankly not all that dumb at all, as a living soldier is going to vastly more useful in the wide variety of situations that a soldier encounters.
AI's are at a premium in Halo, and seem to be quite tricky and expensive to make, so you aren't going to be making your hypothetical terminators human-level smart anytime soon.
And trying to link them all up to a milspec AI in a control centre somewhere a la the Trade Federation from SW is just asking to be hacked.
I realise they may not have had the parts or time, but if they have the time to salvage wreckage from crash sites (Say when a phantom goes down?) they should have the parts.
They also spend ages wasting time glassing a planet for no apparent reason.
The part that would be the limiting factor would be the AI core.
The Covenant burning worlds for religeous reasons has already been covered.
