the pelican opens up loads of new multiplayer senarios, as well as campaign ideas (although it only sort of makes sense that the Master Chief would ever pilot one as there are marines specifically trained to fly them :P)
for example, in multiplayer, there could be an assault level where u have to infullrate an enemy base on a pier or island. one player could fly the pelican and drop his team-mates off on the island, sortof like a tactical drop. Of course, the pelican would have to be vunerable to rockets launchers, so it would be up to the pilot's flying skills to keep his crew out of danger.
if the pelican was added to halo 3, the machinegun on the nose of the pelican should definatly me usable by the pilot to lay down fire to clear to clear an LZ. the rear turret should also be usable, although probably be removed for multiplayer so as not to overbalance the pelican's power.
a campaign level which would be very cool, would be a kind of aerial car chase where the chief has to use the rear turret to take down banshees on the pelican's tail.
