When you realize they did all of that before they even knew they covenant existed it makes it worse. They developed Spartans to kill humans, not aliens.

Like I said, not always altruistic.

I think they were done for strategic covert missions to “save life.” Meaning go kill small groups instead of bombing them.

If I remember correctly, humans stood a chance against the covenant if they could face them head on in combat but they usually just nuked a world.

There's a second trilogy of books that dived neck deep into how horrible the Spartan Program really was. It's a fascinating perspective if your a lore need. I can't remember the ne of the series but the first book is Glasslands. It's an indirect sequel to Ghosts of Onyx, which is an indirect sequel to Fall of Reach / Flood / First Strike.

The ODSTS won some battles against the covenant on the ground. Most of the time they lost and the reason why is they couldn't one on one match up with the elites. They were much stronger and had energy shields that the ODSTS lacked. However the UNSC did capture this technology and reverse engineered the spartan armour to make the spartans on par with the elites. But most importantly the elites were superior ship masters and destroyed many UNSC fleet in battles. The UNSC didn't win very many battles and if they did, they sustained heavy losses. The gap in tech between the UNSC and the covenant were hundreds of years.
