Pelican
Give me a good reason why. I can give you several why not. Its way over powering. There is just no room on maps for it (think about how big it is being on blood gulch), the mass transit functionality of it would over power anyone protecting a flag. And if it were in the campaign, it would be scripted, meaning there is no way to play that part unless you fly the pelican, which is stupid. Nobody likes scripted gameplay. The banshee is the only air vehicle we need. Otherwise the maps would be cluttered and a vehicle frensy, leaving no room for infintry fighting, which is the halo stlye.
Hate to break it to you, but we live in a world were very few new video games are "scripted". With games being anounced at E3 where the AI can react to different parts of their body being hit, the thought of a "scripted" game is almost laughable. With the draw distance being several miles on alot of xbox 360 games (06 games, halo 3 is going to be 07) I'm sure the 360 would be able to handle letting you fight your way on foot or by air. Infact, i would be willing to bet that it would be able to sometimes have the pelican make it to you and sometimes crash before it reached you (making you have to fight on foot). Thats my 2 cents anyway....
