I'm pretty sure that the Covenant came with around 500 ships to REACH. And only 15 to Earth..

I don't know about your question but the imeadiate area in the teaser trailor IS already TRASHED ! like they alread plasma'd it but this is only hypothetic .
That's from when the Ship jumped over the Earth city in Halo 2..The Ruins of the Bridge is confirmed to be in the background.
Those rings are the remnants of the space elevator. If you think its the bridge I think you are an idiot.
The rings are the things in the Foreground, not the giant thing in the back that looks like a Bridge.
And since it's already confirmed to be New Mombasa's remnants..I'm guessing it's the Bridge.
You're the idiot.
The only objects I see are the ruins of the space elevator, I don't see any bridge.. Next, I think the Covenant didn't glass the planet for the reason of that the entire planet is the Arc. And the number of ships there is something we can't really calculate any more. Many more ships had to have been sent to Earth since the events of Halo 2, because as of the time of when the Chief left the earth, most of the Covenant fleet had been destroyed. Since the earth was in such dire straits at the end of Halo 2, A large amount of Covenant reinforcements must have come and started hammering on earth. And after they finished that all uninfected covenant ships would have been called to earth to aid in the Great Journey. I would put the number at the count of their entire remaining fleet not engaging the Elites, which there has been no indication of the status of. hmm.. just realized that Gravemind knows where earth is so we might see him at earth, since he probed the prophet of regrets mind and certainly has the means to get their now. ah well, different thread.
