The flamethower works well in Halo. Sure it doesn't make sence that the armour can't stop flames, but who cares in the game?
I have absolutly no idea why it was left out of Halo 2, but I hope it makes a return in Halo 3.
I care deeply. There is no reason the military would take a faulty, unused gun, and invest valuable time and money just to make it workable. Why waste time with a gun that doesnt work, when you can take a design that does and make it better. Why make a super-strong pistol, when making the same strength increase to a rifle ends up with an even stronger gun for less?
They left it out, because it makes as much sense as a plasma pistol shooting flowers. We tested the flamethrower, and it was found wanting. Its smarter to make a better rifle--a design we know we can fall back on if the improvements fail.
