 * The UNSC would take one look at the relays, say "F*ck that shit," and bypass the entire thing with their slipspace. That alone could even the playing field, they'd jump in at extremely close range and fire before the ME ships can even dodge before jumping out.
 * UNSC armor has been designed to take on all but the heaviest firepower. Their weapons have been designed to destroy that armor.
 * Numbers mean nothing if the numerically superior ones aren't prepared for total warfare. The last actual war anyone in ME has fought were the Krogan Rebellions, they spent the rest of their time fighting pirates, and the pirates aren't even that big a threat compared to the Insurrectionists that the UNSC fought against. And I doubt that the turians have over 10,000 ships divided into 30 something fleets, it doesn't even make sense.
 * Where? Where did the Council use WMDs? The only race that I know of that has the balls (I'll edit if it's not allowed) to do it are the krogan.
 * Oculi being made into FTL missiles? Solar system destroying bombs? Who are you, that anonymous guy who keeps making those impossible scenarios for the Reapers to win?
 * Keep in mind that everything you're saying about the UNSC weapon specifications is only during the Human-Covenant War. Remember that they found a bunch of Huragok from Onyx, originating from Forerunner times. Meaning they have knowledge of Forerunner tech. Who's to say that they didn't make it so that they made MAC rounds fire at the same speed and destructive power as a Reaper dreadnought or even more powerful? Who's to say that they didn't make it so that UNSC ship shielding is as powerful as how the Forerunners made it?
