Locust have superior numbers and with their locust Queen can reproduce more troops but Covenant still win with their fleets and glassing and teratons of energy and whatnot.
The Grubs do not have superior numbers. There are likely more Elites then there are Locusts in the entire series.
Having colonized more the one planet, the Covenant are less constrained by popoulation concerns (ignoring the Grunts). The Locusts are a one planet species; mathematically, especially since there are multiple Covenant races to the Locusts' only one, the Covenant have that much more of a population.
Edit: Damn it there goes my attention span. Accidently voted Locust.
Who was the other guy that did it?
They still have better cohesion and integration, meaning if it were on their terms they might have a chance (ground battle that is, of course Covenant are cowards and would resort to their orbital assets)
If they tried to enter the Hollow with nothing but ground assets, however, they would most likely lose.
You don't know anything about the Covenant do you? They've been known to attack ground based targets just so they can say they did. They'd land, beat the humans to a pulp, then once they got bored, they'd glass the planet. Like in The Return.
Drones are about as strong as a Gear, which is as strong as a body-builder. The Covenant (Elites) are brilliant tacticians whilst being as athletic and strong as a Spartan. Needless to say, Elite>Drone.
Better technology, much more powerful weaponry (read the books, games don't do plasma justice at all) and more numbers and advantages.
