Did the Covenant know about the Ark when they invaded Earth at the Start of Halo 2? It is an obvious answer that it is yes in my opinion. but when i was playing Halo 2 Cortana said something along the lines of:
"Thats funny, they didn't expect us to be here. Not you and I, I mean Mankind."
I'm not too sure what the Covenant were thinking when they attacked their enemies home planet but do you think they the Covenant thought Earth was like the Halo Rings? Nobody on them?

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

the covies were trying to find the ark in the beginning (small fleet) and weren't expecting humans, knew about humans at the end (large fleet)

So they weren't looking for the Ark at the start, but the Covenant still thought there was no Mankind on Earth? What where they doing on Earth at the start if they thought they were going to a planet with nothing on it?

The same thing they were doing on Reach. They knew there was "something" here, but didn't know what it was. When they got here, they were suprised to find us. What they were looking for may or may not have been the Ark, but it's found now.

This is, of course, only my opinion.
