*Stacker appears outfitted in both [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|standard Marine attire]] and [[ODST armor|ODST Armor]] throughout ''Halo 2'' and ''3''. Strangely, he is depicted as a regular Marine during the ''Halo 2'' levels ''Outskirts'' and ''Metropolis'', yet he and his fireteam wear ODST armor in the cutscene ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''. This is possibly a symptom of Bungie's hesitance to include Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in ''Halo 2'' during its development, despite pressure from the Microsoft Franchise Development Group.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20151109053509/http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/8/2/3/823a5cd1ac38d28e/Episode_005_final.mp3?c_id=3307764&expiration=1447051643&hwt=9c0743cdf3432035c7a154a6ebfa9d8e ''The Sci Fi Show'': Episode 005: DC Reboot/Eric Trautmann (Archived)]</ref> Stacker and his squad's appearance as Orbital Drop Shock Troopers in the remastered version of ''Another Day at the Beach'' likely confirms the cutscene as the definitive depiction of events. | *Stacker appears outfitted in both [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|standard Marine attire]] and [[ODST armor|ODST Armor]] throughout ''Halo 2'' and ''3''.

*Stacker's dress uniform in Halo 2 features a gold star and 4 stripes. In ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', this was amended to a gold star and 1 stripe. It is unknown whether or not this correctly reflects his rank at the time of Gunnery Sergeant.{{Ref/Reuse|H2-Cairo}} | *Stacker's dress uniform in Halo 2 features a gold star and 4 stripes.

*In the original ''Another Day at the Beach'' by Bungie, [[Fones]] and Stacker shared the same facial model, but Stacker was distinguished by the blood on his left cheek. In the remastered cinematic by Blur Studio, Fones' appearance was given a unique facial model which featured a blonde mohawk. In addition, in the original cinematic, it was Fones who said, "Cook the bastard" to Butkus, and shot the Sangheili with his battle rifle. In the remastered cinematic, the role was given to Stacker. | |||

*The Anniversary editions of both ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' give Stacker a new, unique face bitmap that is not shared with generic Marines. Additionally, the Anniversary edition of Combat Evolved actually has two different face bitmaps for Stacker. If encountered in his full combat armor (as pictured above) his face will bear a resemblance to his original face (i.e. beard and scar). If encountered in combat fatigues he will not have a beard or scar, instead he more closely resembles how he looks in Halo 2 | *The Anniversary editions of both ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' give Stacker a new, unique face bitmap that is not shared with generic Marines.
