The BR has been under hot debate, and I think 1 of these possibilities will happen:

1. The BR will not be in the game at all, and will be replaced by some other scoped weapon.

2. The BRs would not appear in campaign because Spartans did not recieve the battle rifle until First Strike, which was post Reach. The BR, however, could appear in multiplayer for the sake of it being a "popular" weapon and the MLG community.

3. The BRs will appear in campaign because the storyline will cover Reach and post Reach (such as Operation: First Strike) making the BR's appearance canon and allowing its appearance in multiplayer.

4. Or the campaign of Reach will not follow the Spartans, and focus on the unamed spartans in the trailer who may have recieved the BR before hand making its appearance canon and allowing its appearance in multiplayer.

Why would they remove the BR?

Its like the most important gun in the game.

Even if they take it out, it will be replaced by a very simillar weapon that fills the same niche. Probably not a scoped pistol however, it takes a while to explain my reasoning, but to put it simply, with a dual wielding system its hard to balance a dual wieldable medium range weapon.
