I would rather not have those elements for both canon but also gameplay. I can understand the balancing reasons but I think it would add more depth to ODST for not being able to do Spartan style things. The idea was to have Halo style gameplay with far more vulnerability than you had as a Spartan. While you are more vulnerable, being able to wield Hammers or jack vehicles detracts from that element of you being mortal where a Spartan wasn't.
That is personal preference, though. The game is fine as is and I'm personally not going to use those elements. Wielding a Turret typically makes you an easier target anyway.
