Well, I hate to break it to all of you Die hard BR fans, but...
If you go through the stories and such, the BR was actually introduced about the middle of First Strike, Contrary to that, the prototype BR was in use by Johnson in Harvest.
So, Techniqually... The BR would not be in the game unless it were a prototype or Bungie decides to put it in just for kicks. This could be one of those "Up to Bungie" Things...
But just saying, The BR wont be in Reach, for the Conflicting Story reasons.
Read it again, because the BR was on Reach, and the Spartans there found them but didn't know the name of the weapon. but it was still in a "prototype" stage and was a single shot. so the BR is possible to show up, and (thank god) will be a single shot if it is in game.
