Yeah because it was. You can infer that from Reconstruction.

RvB took some basic elements of Halo canon, but RvB itself is not canon to Halo. Plasma pistols are medical scanners and these new grenades teleport stuff instead of exploding. Guilty Spark killing Johnson was supposed to be a "training video" or something. Stuff like that which... doesn't quite fit into Halo canon.
