"it'll be the Seven Hour War all over again... except this time we won't last seven minutes!"
Half-Life 2 was exactly what I was thinking when I read the OP.

OP should have made it a terrestial battle. At least then we could die swinging. But still die.
For some odd reason, this is the first thing that came to my mind when you said that. I love that story arc.
Ending a sentence with a preposition is one of the least followed grammatical rulesin the English language. While I try and follow it as much as I can, it is very easy to slip and make that mistake.
Technology is advancing at an ever accelerating rate, when Bungie first made Halo they had no idea how fast we would progress in the few years in-between each game. I think a little slack would be okay, in regards to technological advancement.
I was talking about the technology in the Halo universe itself. 500 years into the future, and we still have tanks, helicopters, and automatic weapons at the same technological scale as we do today.
500 years into the future, and they're still using 8 gauge, pump action shotguns?
And what we don't have in real life includes hand held rail guns, sound-rifles, laser cannons, space-based warships, and molecularly hardened Titanium A.
And the NOVA.
Depleted uranium ammunition? Magnetic accelerator cannon? And who knows how powerful their computers are!
EDIT: And AI.
EDIT: Let's not forget the Spartan Laser!
another Edit: And the Spartans, plus Mjolnir, and Yggdrisil.
