:::::: 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) | :::::: That's the very thing though, it's not just that "he could be killed via the game's mechanics."

:::::::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) | :::::::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.
