I mean, like Reach did after the covenant conquered it. Bungie said that the Covenant had conquered Earth in the Halo 3 trailer, if that was true, wouldn't the covenant fleet have bombarded the planet. Look at the Mombasa bridge in the backround; it looks pretty fried. But it looks like the place where master chief is didn't get hit because there's trees in the area and there's no way trees would survive a plasma bombardment. Maybe the covenant left that single spot untouched just like they left an area untouched on Reach for investigation.
