Just a general FYI, until the events of Halo2, Brutes were below Elite commanders, and had to follow them. Brutes were not even trusted with fully furnished ships to themselves. There is not love between the two, but around the time of Reach, the Brutes were still 'below' the Elites.
In regards to their prescence on Reach, it is highly unlikely they will be there, but it is entirely possible. The reasons for them not being there are simple, they were never mentioned in The Fall of Reach, and the stronger reason being that the destruction of what was assumed to be the possible human homeworld would not be lead by the Brutes. Something that important to the Covenant would be lead by the Elites, who still held their place next to the Prophets.
All of that being said they could be featured being as Contac Harvest put Brutes into the earlier parts of the timeline, and Bungie will retcon certain aspects of the story that do not take away from the key points. If they are not featured however, it would be safe to say that their weapons would not be present either.
