His [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was shot down by a [[Type-47A Scarab|Scarab]] over [[Old Mombasa]] and crashed landed on an open beach near [[Hotel Zanzibar]], killing the pilots and [[O'Brien (ODST)|one marine]]. The surviving ODSTs were immediately engaged by a Covenant patrol led by a [[Special Operations Sangheili]]. During the brief assault, the Sangheili held [[Jones (Old Mombasa)|one of his troopers]] hostage momentarily before Stacker shot the Sangheili in the head.<ref name="ADatB"/> | ||
Stacker and his Marines then holed up in the nearby Hotel Zanzibar to wait for John-117 to come and relieve them. They were soon attacked by another group of Covenant infantry, and were pinned down in the hotel's lobby by a [[Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma cannon]] by the time John-117 arrived. He then assisted the Chief and his [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] compatriot [[Cortana]] in chasing the Scarab walker.<ref name="outskirts">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]'' - "''A Day at the Beach"''</ref> He drove a [[Gauss Warthog]], offering the SPARTAN-II the [[M68 Gauss Cannon|Gauss cannon]]. He assisted the SPARTAN-II by transporting him to the Marine command post, which was under the bombardment of several [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]]. Clearing out the attacking Covenant, they reached the command post, where Stacker relieved [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Banks]] of his authority over the command post, while Banks assisted the SPARTAN-II in destroying the Scarab walker. Sergeant Stacker's efforts allowed UNSC forces to be supplemented, re-supplied, and eventually evacuated.<ref name="metropolis">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]'' - ''"This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us"''</ref> | Stacker and his Marines then holed up in the nearby Hotel Zanzibar to wait for John-117 to come and relieve them.

Stacker was one of the shock troopers leading the attack on Installation 05.<ref name="delta halo">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref> Stacker, John-117, and several other [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] managed to secure several [[Forerunner]] ruins, allowing for [[M12 Warthog LRV|vehicular support]] to be brought in. Stacker and his men supported the SPARTAN-II as he pushed through heavy Covenant defences on the way to his target: the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Eventually they were able to push through to the Prophets temple, where they were pulled back to support [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes|Keyes]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] in an attempt to get the ring's [[Activation Index]] while the Chief proceeded to kill the Prophet. | Stacker was one of the shock troopers leading the attack on Installation 05.<ref name="delta halo">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref> Stacker, John-117, and several other [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] managed to secure several [[Forerunner]] ruins, allowing for [[M12 Warthog LRV|vehicular support]] to be brought in.

Unfortunately, Stacker's men suffered almost total casualties in the battle, with large numbers being killed and infected by the [[Flood]]. Others were killed by arriving [[Jiralhanae]] forces. Stacker, along with Johnson, [[Banks]], and Miranda Keyes, were captured by Jiralhanae forces and sent to High Charity. Eventually, Stacker, along with Johnson and Banks were brought to a [[Bastion of the Brutes|series of structures]] held by the Jiralhanae. The three were about to be executed when the Jiralhanae were attacked by [[Sangheili]] [[Swords of Sanghelios|forces]] lead by [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]].

Stacker and Banks were presumably evacuated by the Arbiter and his allies after the neutralization of Installation 05. They eventually returned to Earth. | ||
