Mongoose. Maybe Hornet too. Most the other things are a bit silly.
Scorpion with Rideable sides >> You can just jump onto a normal scorpion and ride around on it. Heck, you can carry your entire team. Nobody would ever "sit" on the scorpion like you would a warthog because you wouldn't have the mobillity to run the heck away when someone started shooting you. Besides, its a tank. It moves slowly. You would be better on foot with the tank supporting you.
Pelican / Spirit / Phantom >> Two words: Splatter Spree. Nobody would use these vehicles as transport vehicles, they would just become flying battering rams. Banshees are hard enough to dodge when they want to splatter you, what makes you think these other vehicles will be any different? And unlike the banshee, simple AR or SMG fire won't take them down.
Troop Warthog >> Never put all your eggs in one basket. I would never get into such a death trap, no way am I going to sit around waiting for some guy with a rocket or a laser to get a killamanjaro. I'd rather have a normal warthog to ride in, or run around on foot with a normal warthog to support me.
Spectre >> That carries what? Two people? And a Ghost? It would be much faster just to get the ghost and support the guy running around on foot. Starting to see a pattern?
Boat >> It would only work on maps with water, and makes no sense according to the canon. Why would humans use a boat to attack an Island / Coast when they fly in? If theres anti air cannons, they drop in via drop pods which move too quickly to get shot down. Face it, in the future, boats don't really serve much of a tactical purpous when everything else flies. Also it would only appear on one or two maps, and again, theres nowhere to run if your boat begins to sink.
