It's completely laughable that a fleet five times smaller then the one at reach destroyed the earth. They weren't even prepared to fight, they were a mining expedition with some military support. They didn't even know they were going to our homebase.
It's obvious that a second worldwide assualt was coordinated to allow Truth to get the Ark and these would be primarily made of of Loyalist forces who actually want Truth to get activate the "Great Journey". Any quotes that prove otherwise are just production discrepencies. Yes, even bungie can make mistakes.
There were 15 capital ships that attacked Earth, and around 500ish that attacked REACH(?)...After H:CE Cortana found out that Covie ships can jump into and out of a planet's atmosphere, and then the Covies learn of this from a Covenant AI onboard their capital ship..
So, I'm guessing that the ships try to stall the humans' MAC cannons, while Truth jumps into the atmosphere to try and find the artifact..he thinks all is going to hell and jumps out of system with the crystal in hand making him go 90x as fast...
You go too, to Delta Halo and do a few missions, then goto High Charity, all the while the crystal is affecting you making the 'real world' slow down.
So on the chief's return in the Forerunner ship it seems like he has only been gone for hours to a day, which is why the Admiral is so suprised to see you after he just saw you jump out of system.
So the ships you see fighting at the end are the ones stalling the MAC cannons, jumping back and forth out of and into effective range of fire toying with us while the Forerunner ship (most likely something important to using the Ark of the Covenant, along with the crystal)
Once they see the Prophet return with both keys, they ALL jump into our atmosphere and begin digging...this is when the trailer takes place..
