Yeah The Fall of Reach established that humans could stand up to Covenant on the ground but space battles were in the covenant's favour 99% of the time, and if the humans ever won a space battle it would be with significant losses.
What I didn't understand, was why the generators for the orbital MAC guns were on the ground?! (or did I not read it right)
Also, given that trees did an excellent job of deflecting plasma fire in the games, I believe the UNSC should start armor-plating its ships with good old fashioned wood.
