See you on the battlefield.
That's where the portal to the Ark was, and the only location of any strategic value to the Covenant on the surface. Fighting elsewhere would have tied up resources and personnel that Regret didn't have.
Also, for the first battle, Regret didn't bring enough ships or troops to secure the entire planet, not considering the fact that Earth was the center of UNSC space. There was also the fact that most of the invading fleet was destroyed as a result of Operation First Strike, and Regret jumped the gun and attacked Earth before the fleet could reassemble.
As for the second battle, fighting is everywhere. Spartan Blue Team is running ops in Antarctica, Cuba, and Mexico, and there is a major battle at Cleveland.
