:::::: That's the very thing though, it's not just that "he could be killed via the game's mechanics." Marines in Silent Chartographer are killed off through dialogue and a kill script, ie the game goes out of it's way to kill them, in both the gameplay and the narrative. It seems quite a lot different to me Johnson being able to die in gameplay.[[User:JiMMyPaZ|JiMMyPaZ]] ([[User talk:JiMMyPaZ|talk]]) 04:26, March 29, 2020 (EDT)

:::::::I'm not understanding how information about Stacker will be enhanced on Halopedia by muddying the waters over his being a character in Halo 1 or not. Clearly he is in later games. It's not terribly harmful to consider him a character in Halo 1. It was clearly Bungie's intent with making the action figure him specifically rather than a generic nameless marine. To me, it would make things more confusing leaving him out of it. I would think just a trivia note saying something about how the marine bodies, heads, and voices could be swapped around would let readers know that Halo 1 was not as forward-planned as subsequent games because the popularity of Halo was a complete unknown at the time. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 10:30, March 29, 2020 (EDT)

::::::::Apologies for the late reponse. I'd completely forgotten about this vote, until topic came up yet again on the Discord today, which reminded me. My thoughts are, given all the evidence shown, that Bungie's intent is clear; the Marine Sergeant in CE is meant to be Stacker. However, I still remain unconvinced that nowadays, 343 would consider that to be the case in a canonical sense. Consequently, I would personally favour moving the info about his CE appearance to the production notes section. {{User:Dab1001/Sig2}} 10:09, April 17, 2020 (EDT)
