Why is the Covenant fleet on earth at the beginning of halo 2? The covenant didnt know 'we' were here, so what did they think earth was? People are saying "they are there for the ark!" but the covenant dont know EVERYTHING about the forerunners, just a lot about their technology. Hey, they needed an oracle just to find out that the index was needed to start halo. Truth mentions a prophecy that other rings would be found (after the destruction of the 'first' halo), so what if they are looking for other rings, and just happen across a fortified planet of humans?

They were looking for the artifact on earth not knowing humans were there.

Apparently, Regret believed there was some sort of Forerunner artifact here - hence the small invasion force.
