I had a meeting with Bungie yesterday where they were showing off Halo ODST’s campaign and Firefight gametype. While Paul Bertone (Bungie’s Design Director) was running through the campaign, I noticed that the weapon pick up icons weren’t showing the dual wielding options.

Turns out you won’t be able to dual wield in Halo ODST. It makes sense why, as you’re playing as a regular soldier and it’s not simple to dual wield oversized weapons like the SPARTANs can. The ODST soldier also loses the ability to make use of Equipment items (Bubble Shield, Energy Drainer, etc). You’ll still see Equipment items as the Brutes can use them.
