Its probably balancing issues. Obviously the SMG and pistol will be too powerful to dual wield, seeing as they both pretty much replace the BR and AR. The reason Halo 3 had dual wielding was to diversify and strengthen the weaker weapons.
In ODST, with the enhanced SMG and pistol, I think Spiker and PR will be a little more effective, seeing as the enemy won't be trying to 4-shot you. The reason you can wield a turret is, again, balancing issues. Although it doesn't really make sense.
Also, a Regenerator wouldn't work because it heals shields, not body armor or bullet wounds and it would make the Health Booths pointless. A Bubble Shield also would be pointless since in halo 3, it was used mainly to refresh your shields and you can't really do that in ODST.
And no, I don't think you can use ODSTs in MM or Spartans in Firefight.
