Bungie have stated that "dual wielding" is going to be removed from halo: ODST due to the obvious fact that you are no longer a Spartan. However, these ODSTs have been seen wielding spartan lasers, running around with turrets and (although not confirmed) in one video i remember seeing the option to pick up a gravity hammer... as an ODST!
The real reason is the automag.
The halo: CE pistol was, as you will probably know, very powerful and much loved. However in Halo2 its power was nerfed in order to balance the weapon. Can you imagine how easy it would be walking round with twin "3 shot" pistols? UTTER CARNAGE., and therefore the pistols were weakened.
Due to the return of the basic elements from the Halo: CE pistol in the form of the automag, Bungie also had to lose the dual wielding feature from the game in order to keep it from being too easy

IGNORE THE DAMN GAMERTAG! It's my brother's. Feel free to spam him with messages. >:)

This topic has been discussed multiple times. We don't know why Bungie is taking away duel wielding, but I'm pretty sure they would have thought of this as well. Hopefully they have a good reason for doing this. If not, does it really matter in the end?
