1. Not enough info on Forerunner tech IMO.

2. Empire- better and possibly larger navy, generally better hand weapons and tanks, also the majority of Covenant forces are frickin' Grunts unless my source is wrong. Stormtrooper> Grunt or Jackal, though Stormtrooper< Elite, Brute, or Hunter. However, I think that 2 Stormtroopers=Elite and Squad of Stormtroopers= Brute, and perhaps Hunter. That's what the Empire runs on, outnumbering in okay infantry and shit loads of crappy fighters or outclassing the enemy in warships and armored vehicles. In the end though, I think it would come down to who had the better industrial base, which means that the Empire is gonna add its first extra galactic territory...

3. Hmmm... Star Wars gets the better navy again of course (Star Wars navy>Covenant>UNSC) but is outclassed in infantry despite being technically more advanced. I can see a squad of commandos taking out a Spartan fire team if they used the right tactics and played their cards right, about 50/50. The two factions both have excellent armored vehicles, but the additional diversity the Republic has and the raw firepower of the bigger tanks (Juggernauts, AT-TE), as well as faster light vehicles(I'd love to see a Scorpion gunner try to hit a group of BARC speeders strafing them at 300+ miles per hour) makes me feel that the G.A.R. takes the edge in vehicles. I think it would take a while, but the G.A.R would eventually pull a victory.
