| | ==Background and personality== |
| | Pete Stacker is a tough, strong, energetic Marine, and although he can be quite reckless in certain situations, he is a very competent leader who has seen his fair share of war. Having survived many battles including all discovered Halo Installations, Stacker has fought alongside [[John-117]] on many occasions, often providing assistance in vital situations. Whether it be offering the [[SPARTAN-II]] a vehicle, weapon, or compliment, Stacker harbors great respect for the SPARTAN. Having survived the [[Battle of Installation 00]], and the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], he is one of the few surviving members of the UNSC that can say they fought beside the Master Chief. |

Stacker was in charge of managing the elevators and ordered Kilo 26 to fire on an overhead {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}. The artillery fire was unable to prevent the corvette from inflicting heavy damage on [[Traxus Tower]], a major evacuation point within the city. Stacker coordinated the evacuation of a group of civilians in a building adjacent to the tower, before advising [[Lieutenant]] [[Spartan-B312]] to assist an [[Bullfrogs|ODST Air Assault unit]] in securing the tower's executive landing pad for civilian evacuation.<ref name="HR-Exodus">''Halo: Reach'', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> | | Pete Stacker served during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]], under the call sign "Kilo 40".<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'' Legendary Commentary</ref> He participated during the [[Siege of New Alexandria]], communicating with [[Kilo 26]] and [[Kilo Dispatch]], and along with several other units, assisted in the evacuation of civilians from [[Traxus Tower]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', level ''[[Exodus (level)|Exodus]]''</ref> Stacker was in charge of managing the elevators and ordered Kilo 26 to fire on a Covenant Corvette overhead.

| Stacker was later reassigned to serve aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' as part of it’s Marine contingent and managed to make it off Reach before the planet fell. Though the ship arrived at the [[Soell system]] and discovered Installation 04, it quickly came under attack by the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], who had pursued it to the system. The ship was soon boarded by innumerable {{Pattern|Brhi Xur|Leech}} boarding craft, and Captain [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] was forced to give the order to abandon ship. Stacker was presumably among those who made it to the surface of the ring alive and intact, and was able to link up with other surviving elements of the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s crew and complement, who went on to mount a guerrilla resistance against the Covenant.<ref name="TF-Chptr4">''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', ''Section II: Halo'', Chapter 4</ref> | | {{Quote|Alright, folks, we got company comin'.

| | | Staff Sergeant Stacker was one of the many Marines who crash-landed on [[Installation 04]] following the boarding of the ''Pillar of Autumn''. His lifeboat made a hard landing in a valley near a [[beam emitter]] on the ring world.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]''</ref> He was one of five survivors of the crash. He came under attack by Covenant forces, but was rescued by [[John-117]] and evacuated by [[Echo 419]]. |

However, whether he actually does is down purely to chance. As a result, it is unclear if he was actually present during these skirmishes. The novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' substitutes Gunnery Sergeant [[Waller]] for Stacker in his role leading the beach assault in ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]''. For the record of all his appearances in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', see [[Marcus Stacker#Gameplay|here]].</ref> and the method of his survival are unknown, as he was not on-board John-117's [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] or [[Shiela Polaski]]'s [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]], the only two known UNSC craft to escape the ring's obliteration.

| A clean-shaven Stacker was present at the October 20th awards ceremony on Cairo Station, minutes prior to the Battle for Earth beginning. Outfitted in his official Naval uniform, he aided SPARTAN John-117 and Sergeant Major Avery Johnson in defending the station's command center from Covenant forces. While accompanying Johnson and Commander Miranda Keyes to board the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, the party was ambushed by Covenant and pinned down. John-117's timely arrival and aid allowed the ''In Amber Clad's'' leadership to board safely.<ref name="H2-Cairo">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref>

|
| During the Battle for Earth, Stacker served in the [[7th ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]] of the [[105th ODST Division|105th Shock Division]]. He was dispatched from the In Amber Clad under the command of Sergeant Major Johnson, leading a squad of ODSTs in a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]]. Upon entering a section of the city under heavy assault by the Covenant, Stacker's Pelican was shot down by a [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] over [[Old Mombasa]] and crashed landed on an open beach near [[Hotel Zanzibar]], killing the pilots and [[O'Brien (Mombasa)|one of Stacker's squad]]. The surviving four ODSTs were immediately engaged by a Covenant patrol led by a [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations]] [[Sangheili]]. During the brief assault, the Sangheili held [[Walpole|one of his troopers]] hostage momentarily before Stacker shot the Sangheili in the head.{{Ref/Reuse|H2-ADatB}}{{Ref/Note|Id=beach|In the original ''Halo 2'' cinematic by Bungie, it was Fones who said, "Cook the bastard" to Butkus, and shot the Sangheili with his battle rifle.

|
| Stacker and his squad then holed up in the nearby Hotel Zanzibar, following the instructions of UNSC [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] while Spartan John-117 cleared a path to them. They were soon attacked by another group of Covenant infantry, and were pinned down in the hotel's lobby by a [[Shepsu-pattern plasma cannon|plasma cannon]] by the time John-117 arrived.

| | Stacker was promoted to [[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Gunnery Sergeant]] for his service after his return to Earth. During the Battle of Earth, Gunnery Sergeant Stacker was dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} with a squad of ODSTs to relieve UNSC Marine infantrymen from the 405th regiment. His [[D77-TC|Pelican]] was shot down by a [[Scarab]] over [[Old Mombasa]] and crashed landed on an open beach near [[Hotel Zanzibar]], killing the pilots and [[O'Brian|one marine]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''</ref> The surviving ODSTs were immediately engaged by a Covenant patrol led by a [[Special Operations Sangheili]].

|
| Later in the battle, Stacker once again crossed paths with John-117 in [[New Mombasa]]. Caught alone behind enemy lines, Stacker was driving a [[Gauss Warthog]] through a Covenant-filled park when he encountered the Chief and a squad of Marines emerging from the nearby tunnels. He suggested the SPARTAN-II commandeer the [[M68 Gauss Cannon|Gauss cannon]], and assisted him in liberating the nearby Marine command post, which was under the bombardment of several [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]], reinforced by waves of [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts]]. Clearing out the attacking Covenant, they reached the command post, where Stacker remained as John-117 lead survivor Sergeant [[Banks]] and a squad of marines in pursuit of the Scarab walker.<ref name="H2-metropolis">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref>

Sergeant Stacker's efforts allowed UNSC forces to be supplemented, re-supplied, and eventually evacuated. |

| Stacker was among the first wave of UNSC forces deployed on Installation 05.<ref>''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo#Helljumpers|Delta Halo]]''</ref> The Gunnery Sergeant, alongside Spartan [[John-117]] and several [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] from [[First Platoon (ODST)|First Platoon]], made a hard drop on the Halo Ring and secured multiple [[Forerunner]] ruins. The ODSTs suffered almost total casualties upon insertion, however their efforts allowed [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|vehicular support]] and [[M808B Scorpion|armor]] to be delivered via Pelican. Stacker and his surviving troopers supported the SPARTAN-II as he pushed through heavy Covenant defenses on the way to his target; the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Upon discovering the location of Installation 05's [[Library]], Commander Miranda Keyes ordered Sergeant Major Avery Johnson to extract his forces and rendezvous with the ''In Amber Clad'' for a [[Battle of the Quarantine Zone|retrieval operation]].<ref name="Regret">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]''</ref> Alongside the majority of the forces supporting John-117, Stacker was pulled out via Pelican and headed towards the Library.
| |
| | |
| After rendezvousing with ''In Amber Clad'', Stacker lead a Platoon-sized force of Marines into the Sentinel Wall surrounding the [[Quarantine Zone]]. The Marines moved through the outer wall with ease, unmolested by local Sentinel defenses - likely due to being recognized by the automated guardians as [[Reclaimers]].<ref name="icon">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref>
| |
| As the Marines moved through the inner wall however, the outer wall became besieged by [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant forces deployed from the recently arrived [[High Charity]]. Eventually, the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadamee]] was able to deactivate the Containment Shield, and the inner wall quickly became overrun with [[Flood]] from the nearby Quarantine Zone.

|
| [[File:HTMCC-H2A Marines Resistance.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Stacker and Banks fighting their Jiralhanae captors at the Bastion of the Brutes.]]
| | Unfortunately, Stacker's men were killed by the [[Flood]] and the arriving [[Jiralhanae]] forces. Stacker, along with Johnson, [[Marcus Banks]], and Miranda Keyes, were captured by Jiralhanae forces and sent to High Charity. Stacker and Banks were presumably evacuated by [[Thel 'Vadam|The Arbiter]] and his allies after the neutralisation of Installation 05 |
| Spread throughout the wall in small fireteams, Stacker's men swiftly fell to the Flood parasite and the now-hostile Sentinels. With his force decimated but the [[Containment Shield]] now disabled, Stacker contacted ''In Amber Clad'' suggesting Keyes proceed straight to the Library while his troops attempted to hold their position. As he relayed the message, Stacker was set upon by a [[Pod infector|Flood Infection Form]], screaming for his Marines to remove it from him. A short time later, Stacker made contact with Keyes once again, confirming their engagement with non-Covenant hostile lifeforms, while [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Banks]] and other Marine survivors could be heard staging a desperate defense.{{Ref/Reuse|icon}} It is unknown how Stacker escaped the Quarantine Zone, however himself, Banks<ref name="journey">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> and his surviving Marines<ref>''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)#Inside Job|Gravemind]]''</ref> were ultimately captured by Covenant forces.
| |
| | |
| Later, as High Charity was overrun by the Flood-infested ''In Amber Clad'', captive Sergeants Stacker, Johnson and Banks were brought to a [[Bastion of the Brutes|series of structures]] held by the Jiralhanae. The three were moments away from execution when the Jiralhanae were attacked by [[Sangheili]] [[Covenant separatists|forces]] lead by the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadamee]]. Taking advantage of the confusion, Johnson managed to board the nearby [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] walker, and forged a hasty alliance with 'Vadamee in order to stop Tartarus from activating the installation. The UNSC-operated Scarab cleared a path to the Installation's Control Room, while the Arbiter provided air support.{{Ref/Reuse|journey}} After the neutralization and subsequent blockading of Installation 05, Stacker was presumably evacuated by the Arbiter and his allies alongside Johnson and Miranda, returning to Earth around November 15, 2552.<ref name="lootcrate2">''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]</ref>

They eventually ran into a Covenant blockade, and [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Choppers]], [[Rizsheda-pattern Shade|Shade]] turrets and large numbers of infantry decimating the convoy and pinning the survivors down in several small structures.<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level ''[[Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> Having received Stacker's distress call, John-117 arrived to assist, accompanied by Gunnery Sergeant [[Reynolds]] and other Marines fleeing the fallen Crow's Next. Stacker rallied his survivors and assisted the arriving forces in neutralizing the Covenant fortification. The UNSC convoy continued onward, but were forced to leave their vehicles shortly after, stopped by a destroyed section of the highway. Continuing on foot, Stacker, Reynolds and their men helped John-117 liberate another squad of Marines under attack in a nearby building complex. After holding off many waves of attacking Covenant troops, including a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]] tank, several resupply Pelicans moved in, delivering multiple [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]] and reinforcements. Mobilizing once again, the UNSC forces [[Assault on the Tsavo Highway|assaulted]] the Covenant-held [[Tsavo highway (location)|Tsavo Highway]], clearing a path to Voi.

| Later in the battle, he led an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper squad accompanying John-117 in the three-pronged assault on the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel's]] shield generators. The small force were able to storm the Covenant-held beach, mount vehicles, and fight their way into the highly-fortified generator tower high in the hills. After clearing the structure interior of a large pack of Jiralhanae, Stacker and his men fell back to guard the entrance while the SPARTAN ascended the tower. After disabling their target, John-117, Stacker and his troopers boarded [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]] and helped the Arbiter's force liberate the third and final tower. | |
| | |
| After the plan to destroy the Citadel from orbit failed, John-117 lead a combined force of ODSTs, Marines and Sangheili in a desperate assault on the Citadel. They fought through heavy Covenant fortifications and destroyed 2 Scarab Platforms, clearing the way for John-117, the Arbiter and [[343 Guilty Spark]] to enter the citadel and stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from firing the rings.<ref name="H3-Covenant">''Halo 3'', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>

| [[File:H4-E3-Campaign-10.jpg|thumb|250px|[[John-117]] is teleported near the Gravity Well, while Stacker's forces battle Covenant vehicles.]]
| |
| {{Quote|I'm reading Sierra One One Seven on-sensor. Everyone form up on the Chief!|Stacker during the assault on Requiem's gravity well.}}
| |
| In the years after the Human-Covenant war, Stacker's service throughout the long conflict was recognized with a promotion to Master Sergeant. By February 21, 2557<ref>''[[Halo 4 Limited Edition]]'', UNSC Infinity briefing packet</ref> Stacker was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} as it was tasked with finding and decommissioning the rest of the Halo Array.
| |
| | |
| When the ''Infinity'' was caught by the [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]] of the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], Stacker survived the ship's impact, as well as the subsequent assault on the crashed ship by [[Promethean]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces.
| |
| | |
| Later, during the ''Infinity's'' assault on several [[Z-8060 particle cannon|particle cannons]] and the [[Gravity well|gravity well generator]], Stacker remotely commanded a platoon of armored vehicles making a ground assault on Jul's Covenant forces. The group had taken heavy losses when Master Chief John 117 arrived, and Stacker ordered his troops to rally behind the Spartan-II. With John-117's aid and Stacker's direction, the force was able to push through multiple waves of Covenant armor and clear a path to the generator.{{Ref/Reuse|H4-Reclaimer}}

| |
| {{Quote|I can see myself in your visor! Pretty...|A line from Stacker's usable firefight voice in ''Halo Reach''}}
| |
| | |
| Identified by his strong southern American accent, Stacker is a tough, charismatic Marine. He is easily able to inspire confidence in his troops, often with jests or taunts at the enemy. A dependable leader in the face of adversity, Stacker has survived important roles in countless major battles. Having survived the Human-Covenant War, as well as engagements against [[Flood]], [[Promethean]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] forces, Stacker is one of the more hardened veterans in the entire UNSC.
| |
| | |
| Stacker has served alongside Spartan-II [[John-117]] on many occasions, often providing assistance in vital situations. Having firsthand experience of John-117's prowess on the battlefield, Stacker has often directed troops under his command to follow the Master Chief's lead. Whether it be offering a vehicle, weapon, or compliment, Stacker displays tremendous respect for the Spartan.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| In-game, Stacker behaves and acts just as any other Marine NPC would, though like other Marine Sergeants, he will sometimes pause to shout and motion orders to other Marines. The player can trade weapons with him (in games where it is possible), and he can be killed during the course of gameplay. If he is killed, he will reappear in later appearances regardless, even within the same level.

| |
|
| The full extent of Stacker's participation in the Battle of Installation 04 are unknown, as he does not appear in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' depiction of events, nor is his presence guaranteed in his ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' appearances (with the exception of his appearance representing [[Waller]].) He was also not on-board John-117's [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] or [[Shiela Polaski]]'s [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' the only two known UNSC craft to escape the destruction of the ring, despite participating in the [[Battle for Earth]] a month later.{{Ref/Reuse|H2-ADatB}}
| | Stacker escaped back to [[Earth]] aboard the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' along with Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds and the rest of the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'''s surviving crew. He was last seen attending the [[Hillside Memorial|memorial]] for the UNSC fallen and was in charge of a 21-gun salute. |
|
| |
|
| Stacker can appear as one of a pair of Marines guarding the first lifeboat bay encountered. The door will explode outwards via a plasma grenade detonation, killing both Marines as a Covenant lance boards the ''Pillar of Autumn''.
| |
|
| |
| Stacker can appear in a group of crash-landed Marines in the level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]'', whose [[Bumblebee]] lifeboat made landfall near a small Forerunner structure. The Marines were quickly located by Covenant [[Spirit|dropships]], and forced to move into the adjacent hills, where they were able to hold out until John-117 arrives and dispatches the Covenant attackers. Stacker and his men are evacuated via Pelican, and able to link up with other surviving elements of the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s crew and complement, mounting a guerrilla resistance against the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|TF-Chptr4}}
| |
|
| |
| Stacker can appear during the level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'' among Marine reinforcements, in any of the three possible Marine squads deployed throughout the mission.<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved'', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Stacker leads a large Marine force in ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]'', assaulting a heavily-defended Covenant beachhead. Stacker's Marines provide support to John-117 throughout his mission to locate the [[Cartographer]], while the Sergeant remains on the surface with the main Marine force, ready to provide reinforcements. While the Spartan is deep in an underground Forerunner structure, Covenant dropships are sighted approaching the island, too swiftly for the Marines to retreat into the structure. Stacker implores the Spartan to locate his objective, and states his forces will delay the incoming Covenant for as long as possible. By the time John-117 reaches the surface, the entire Marine force including Stacker have been killed.<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved'', campaign level ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Stacker may appear among a large Marine force encountered in the level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'', though without his namesake voice actor. The Marines are fleeing from a pair of [[Hunters]] when John-117 arrives, accompanied by [[Fireteam Zulu]]. The Marines aid the Spartan assault a valley heavily fortified by Covenant, before Cortana sends a distress signal and orders the Marines to hold position for extraction.{{Ref/Reuse|CE-AotCR}}
| |
|
| |
| Stacker may appear among the Marines encounter on the surface in the level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''. The Marines are holding position inside a Forerunner structure when John-117 emerges from an elevator. They proceed to accompany the Spartan through the flood-infested jungle, moving towards a large tower so [[Echo-419]] could provide extraction.<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved'', campaign level ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref>

| {{Linkbox|quote=yes|gallery=yes}}
| | *Stacker's voice is usable in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''<nowiki />'s [[Firefight]] mode.<ref>[http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14276699/halo-project/videos/halor_armory_montage_072210.html;jsessionid=b2hkkhg3gp1cu?show=hi '''IGN''': ''The Armory'']</ref> |
| ===Production notes===
| | *While Stacker does make an appearance throughout the trilogy, his canonical status remains in limbo; as he is never mentioned in any of the novels nor does any canonical source explain his fate. A possible explanation for his status may be the same used for Avery Johnson before his official inclusion into canonical sources, that he is a character not meant to be taken seriously, so that even if his character had been killed in one instance, he will mysteriously show up again without any explanation. |
| *Stacker takes his first name from [[Marcus Lehto]], whom his face was also modelled after in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''Halo 3''.{{Ref/Reuse|H4-Reclaimer}} | | *He is named after [[Pete Stacker (Voice Actor)|the person who voices him]], and who also voiced [[Jacob Keyes]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''Halo: Reach''. |
| *Stacker takes his middle initial{{Ref/Reuse|H4-Reclaimer}} and surname from [[Pete Stacker]], the voice actor who plays him in every one of his appearances. Pete Stacker also voices a number of other characters in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]], including [[Jacob Keyes]], [[Echo 004]], [[Oscar 18]], Gunnery Sergeant [[Waller]] and a number of unnamed NMPD officers and Marine Sergeants in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. Pete was not credited for playing Sergeant Stacker in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo: CE]]''; he only receives credit for his portrayal of [[Jacob Keyes]].<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved credits]]''</ref>
| | *In the level New Alexandria, if played on co-op, he will appear as the gunner on the second Falcon. |
| *Stacker was first named in their [[Joyride_Studios/Halo_1_Series_3#Marine|Joyride Studios action figure]] released in January 2004, where the character is identified as "SERGEANT STACKER".<ref> ''[[Joyride_Studios/Halo_1_Series_3#Marine|Joyride Studios' Sergeant Stacker action figure]]'' </ref> In ''Halo 2''{{'}}s credits, Pete Stacker is credited for portraying "Sergeant Stacker".<ref>''[[Halo 2 credits]]''</ref> Despite this, ''Halo 3''{{'}}s credits listed him as "Marine Sergeant".<ref>''[[Halo 3 credits]]''</ref>
| | *In the level Long Night of Solace, if played on co-op, he will appear as a pilot of one of the sabres. |
| *Stacker's rank of Gunnery Sergeant was first revealed in ''Halo: Reach''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|Armory]]. While he was referred to as "GYSGT STACKER" in the Armory, Pete Stacker was only credited for voicing "TROOPER SGT 1"<ref>''[[Halo: Reach credits]]''</ref> | | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', he has a scar under one of his eyes. Though he doesn't have it in Halo: Reach. It is possible that he recieved it during the events in [[Reach]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> |
| *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. | | *On [[Cairo Station]], Stacker is seen wearing his service uniform with a [[Major (UNSC)|major]] emblem instead of a [[Gunnery Sergeant]] emblem, like any other Marine (e.g. [[Avery J. Johnson]] and [[Marcus Banks]]) wearing his/her service uniform. |
| *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}}
| | *In ''Halo: The Flood'', Stacker is substituted by Sergeant [[Waller]] and Sergeant [[Parker]] in his ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' appearances. |
| *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. | | *In ''Halo 3: ODST'', he can sometimes be found at the Marine [[rally point]] near [[Kizingo Boulevard]], despite the fact that he is on [[Installation 05]] at the time. Additionally, there is an [[New Mombasa Police Department|NMPD]] officer at the [[ONI Alpha Site]] who sports Stacker's voice and a cap similar to his. |
| *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3'' Stacker's in-game texture bitmap is named "[[Marcus]]", after the game's Art Director [[Marcus Lehto]]. He shares this bitmap with several generic Marines in both titles. | | *Pete Stacker has the least expensive Firefight voice, costing only 5,000 credits. |
| *In ''Halo 2'', Stacker's in-game texture bitmap is named "Morgan". He shares this bitmap with several generic Marines. Interestingly, Sergeant [[Reynolds]] uses an updated version of the "Morgan" bitmap in ''Halo 3''.
| | *He is characterized by his strong Southern American accent, making him easier to spot out of all the other marines the player fights with. |
| *Stacker's face bitmap used to portray him in ''Halo Reach''{{'}}s Armory is shared with several generic Army Troopers throughout Reach's campaign. His "model" shown in the Armory appears to actually be a combination of this face bitmap with [[Duvall]]'s character model. | | *When playing Firefight, Stacker may say "Frag out!" even if the player throws a Plasma Grenade. |
| *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 only two levels that the difference can be seen in are ''Halo'' and ''343 Guilty Spark'' as he will always wear his combat armor in other missions.
| | *Occasionally in Halo 2, mainly on the level [[Regret (Level)|Regret]], a glitch occurs in which Stacker will appear, but will have Bank's voice and vice versa. |
| | |
| ===Glitches===
| |
| *In ''Halo 2'' on the level ''[[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]'', a glitch can occur in which Stacker will appear, but have Sergeant [[Banks]]' voice, or vice versa.
| |
| *In ''Halo 3'' on the levels ''[[Tsavo Highway]]'' and ''[[Floodgate]]'', a glitch can occur in which Stacker will appear, but have Reynolds' voice, or vice versa. This is most notable on ''Tsavo Highway'', where both Sergeants have a multiple lines of scripted mission dialogue.
| |
| | |
| ===Miscellaneous===
| |
| *Stacker's voice is usable in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s [[Firefight]] mode. Stacker has the least expensive Firefight voice, costing only 5,000 [[credit]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HR-Armory}} In ''[[Season 1: Noble]]'' of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', Stacker can be unlocked for {{SeasonPoint|1}} as the seventh unlock in the first tier. | |
| *The Marine Sergeant in ''Halo'' [[E3]] [[Halo E3 2000 trailer|2000 trailer]] appears to be an early rendition of Stacker. Although he was not voiced by Pete Stacker, he used the "Marcus" bitmap and possessed a voice similar to Stacker's in the final game.
| |
| *Stacker was nicknamed "Sergeant Gruff" by Bungie staff.<ref>[http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/voices.html ''halo.bungie.org'': Voice Acting]</ref>
| |
| *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3'', he has a scar under one of his eyes which is not present in his other depictions.
| |
| *In the ''Halo: Reach'' campaign level ''[[New Alexandria]]'', if played on [[Cooperative Play|co-op]], an army trooper with Stacker's Firefight voice will appear as the gunner on the second Falcon. An Army Trooper using his combat dialogue can also spawn as part of the Pelican Reinforcements that appear in ''Long Night of Solace''.
| |
| *Stacker's Firefight voice description in ''Halo Reach'', and his dialogue in ''Halo 4'' directly reference his own lines from ''Halo 3''. | |
