There is a simple reason to why the ODST's are not brining along BR's along with them this time.
The ODST's are going to land inside, ontop or nearby Regret's Capital ship, and the reason why they are doing this is so that they can take out the ship, and render it useless and at the same time capture one of the Prophets, something that the UNSC has been planning to do for a while, they even tried to send Master Cheif and some other SPARTANS II's to capture one, but that plan obviously failed. Their intention was to capture one, and hopefully with his capture, they could negotiate a cease fire, or possibly end the war.
Now, keep in mind that these Capital ships are HUGE. The Covenant's Captial ship can easily drawrf the UNSC'S largest and most powerful ship, not to mention one of these can take on mutiple UNSC frigates, etc - This is the main reason why Humans are losing the war, The Covenant have Space/Air superiority, and because of this they are winning. Humans can have a fair chance of winning on the ground, but when the ships come in, its game over.
Back on topic, ODST's are planning to inflitrate this ship, and because this ship is huge, the Covenant may or may not notice ODST's landing on their ship, and they will have the element of surprise with them. By using these smaller, silenced weapons, the ODST's can keep the element for a longer time, and have a more successful chance of taking over the ship.
If they were to bring along the BR, it would simply be too big, and too loud to be allowed on such a sensitive operation. If you have seen that live action Halo short, you have seen the BR, and you know how big that is, and why it would be so ineffective in the Capital Ship. The area promotes CQB fighting, and the SMG and the Pistol are perfect for this.
The BR could hypothetically be silecened, but it would make the gun that more bigger and it would reduce the range and the aim as well.
In short, they are not brining the BR because they are planning on a Stealthly, Close range combat in order to capture the ship and the Prophet. The BR is simply to big and too loud.I can understand your theory, but orders are orders. Dare is the captain and her orders are more important than the carrier.
Watch.
