I think you need to research the Space marines a bit, as this is extremely bare boned for them.

http://factpiletopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1492&start=10

has hundreds of quotes within.

Included somewhere are:

-Space Marines have reaction time that makes Spartans look like slow children

- Space Marine armor can take full powered lasguns, which blow off limbs of normal humans. I have played Halo, and I have not seen that implies forerunner weaponry here can match. Hell at times their armor can even take battle/autocannons!

- Can "‘I have little idea,’ Cestus confessed, staring into the viewscreen, analysing and appraising tactical protocols in nanoseconds as he considered Kaminska’s question."

- nearly dodge lightning

-capable of effortlessly ripping someone in half, each punch/kick capable of killing outright

--Strong enough to overpower hundreds of fanatical hyped up cultists in  a contest of strength (two marines were to close a door, and they did so easily)

--can hear heartbeats (good luck sneaking up on SM)\

--run 300m in 18 seconds

--decades of training

--undoubtedly more experience (forerunners relatively peaceful until the Flood came, and depdending on the time period would not have much experience with other elite units)

--Many, many more feats

Also I expect you to provide me specific sources on Forerunner's skinsuit, as your description is rather vague. And prove that specific halo weapons ignor armor

Space Marines were underestimated last round by their showing in DOW, which is non-cannon.
