There's been a few threads about flying the Pelican in Halo 2. I found this in one of the older weekly updates:

I got a look at some new vehicle models today, including the Scorpion tank. Few things I'd love to tell you about that but can't. I can probably tell you about the new Pelican model however, and it's a doozy. It's fully bump-mapped, impeccably detailed and features a real 3D cockpit, complete with joysticks. You can't fly it of course, but it looks so much better than first time around. My favorite feature, apart from the detail added by bump-mapping everything, is the new glass shader. When you pan around the cockpit glass, it shimmers and reflects convincingly. Adding the extra depth makes it look much more like a working vehicle than in the first game. When I saw it, it was having damage applied to it, so expect to see one or two of them smashed up in Halo 2.

Can you hop into it mid-level and have one of your AI buddies pilot you around?

I think it's not pilotable for one big reason:

It can do to much, and wouldn't have the buttons to do everything...

1. Picks up and carries vehicles
2. Carries troops
3. Fires auto-cannons and missiles
4. Has a mounted gun on the back....

Talk about overpowered.... It would be nice if they took off the missiles and possible the auto-cannons....

the only time you should be able to drive it is in another race on the last lvl where you have to get the marines there quickly to fite off the flood!! jk but its to big for just normal use
