Talk:Marcus Stacker

Issue with picture

One picture of Stacker from Halo: Combat Evolved one shows him on the silent cartagrapher, but if you look at gunnery sergeant Waller's page you will see that it has the EXACT same picture only claiming him to be Waller instead of Stacker should we just remove it from one of the sergeant's page or remove both of them? I know Waller replaced Stacker in the books but still that is Stacker. User:cloakedshadow

Death?

Dose he Die when the covenant crusier destroys the city and if he did or diden't it should be added on the artical User:Kami-Sama

No, actually, you will see Sergeant Stacker in his ODST suit on the level "Delta Halo". But he has his helmet on, so you can't tell it's him. When you start out on the level, smack the second ODST that you see running down the hill with an SMG. He will have the voice of Pete Stacker. In Regret, he is one of the normal Marines you can find on the Pelicans. -Blemo 01:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the ODST at the start of Delta Halo is more often Sergeant Banks. But neither of them die since both of them appear jus before you have to provide airsupport for Johnson in his Scarab. Whether or not the survived it can be debated.--Lieutenant Alan 07:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Sometimes, their voices will vary between Banks and Stacker... I forgot to mention that. --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} 20:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Hes also in the last level when Arbiter rescues Sergeant Stacker, Avery Johnson and Marcus Banks And he is in Halo 3Gunnery Sargeant Stacker 07:37, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Halo 3

Where does it ever say he is going to be in Halo 3. We know only one marine name that is going to be in Halo 3 and that is Sgt. Johnson.The Consumed ,The Dead ,and Living File:ESE.JPG|20px]] 22:43, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

yea why is he even important or where does it say that he is gonna come in halo 3?--Radzon 00:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

You can see him getting "this is spartaaaaaaaa'd" by the Brute Chief in the E3 trailer. -theblackthrone _{(atthecenter) (ofultimatechaos)} 19:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Stacker's not the most important character, but he does play a couple important roles. He does hold off the Brutes and allows Johnson to get the Scarab in Halo 2. Without that help, the Scarab likely would not have been taken by Johnson, who in turn would not have lowered Tartarus' shields, which in turn would have killed the Arbiter, which in turn would have led to the death of Master Chief. Also, he is one of the leaders of the marine resistance in Halo 3. Holly-102 21:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Um... what?! Pete Stacker wasn't with Johnson on the scarab in halo 2... The Sarge File:Marine Corp 1stSgt.jpg|25px]]^Comm _CSV 21:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

He appears right before you provide air support for Johnson in The Great Journal. Apparently, Johnson, Stacker, and Banks were going to be executed, and then they tried to fight off the Brutes right before the Arbiter arrived up there. Holly-102 23:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge with the other Sergeant Stacker?

Pete and Sgt. Stacker from Halo 1 very much appear to be the same person. They have the same voice actor, the same (sur)name, and their names in the credits of Halos 1 and 2 are the same. So, could someone please merge these articles?--CT-5619 ^{helmet comlink} 22:32, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

In Halo: First Strike, the humans who made it off Installation 04 were all named, and the only ones who survived to reach Earth were John-117, Cortana and Johnson. The only way Stacker could have got off was on another Covenant ship, which would cause *much* bigger plot problems than if he simply had a brother or something. --68.44.13.236 18:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe so, but then why the hell would there be three men with the same name, voice actor, face, and rank? Someone really should ask Frankie O'Connor about this.--CT-5619 ^{helmet comlink} 19:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Name: He's not an important enough character to come up with an original name. Voice actor: Obvious. Face: Possibly see "name". Rank: Possibly they really liked his persona from the first game, which wouldn't really work if he were a grunt. (Also, you really only need an excuse to copy a character once; after that it becomes a tradition.) --68.44.13.236 04:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps he was merely edited by bungie. They have just wonted to make him look older in Halo 3. Also, he may just been one of those voices that are placed on random characters, only he was more different. --—This unsigned comment was made by Hydraman (talk • contribs).

Blah, I think he's the same person. I think the games have more weight than the books, after all the games are the fundamental parts of the Halo universe. OR for all you who can't possibly believe that explanation, maybe he's someone who isn't cannon at all. Maybe he's just a character that they put in the games. He is always the "other Sergeant". In the first game, Johnson was the Sergeant that would be considered the "main one." In Halo 2, Sergeant Banks is the guy in charge of that fort thing you find and "leads" the attack on the Scarab. In Halo 3, Sergeant Reynolds is the one you rescue from the Brutes. See, there are always two Sergeants that can die in the games, and Stacker is always the "other one." If there is a game that takes place many many years after Halo 3, who knows, Maybe Stacker will show up again to aid you in combat. Personally, I prefer my first explanation but the second one is likely as well. User:Imperialscouts

In Halo CE He fires more accurately than Johnson, IN Halo 2 Banks only aids You Twice, opposed to stacker aiding you 4 times and in halo 3 it is stackers squad that saves reynolds ass twice and he aids you on every level and He even leads the marines and ODSTs in the Scarab fights in the ark And the Covenant so in Halo 1 Johnson is the main sarge, but in 2&3 Stacker is, take thatGunnery Sargeant Stacker 06:00, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Remember that no one truly knows how Johnson got off Halo. If Avery did than I'm sure Stacker could have found a way. Perhaps all the sergeants worked together to get off. --71.171.111.82

Good point. By the way, be sure to sign your comments. User:Imperialscouts

You know stacker may have refused to go on the covenant ship and probably along with Chips Dubbo escaped with a pelican. Edd1997

Johnson got from Alpha Halo to Earth in a captured Covenant ship, Ascendant Justice - see First Strike. --68.44.253.17 07:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Move article?

It seems logical to move this article to something like Pete Stacker (character) or Pete Stacker (Halo 2), and and have Pete Stacker be a page about the actual person (the voice actor). Also, apparently whoever wrote the latest version of the Stacker disambiguation page thinks the one in Halo 2 and the one in Another Day at the Beach are necessarily different? --68.44.13.236 23:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Race

What is Stacker's race? He looks black to me, but another Halo player insists he is white. - Hyenaste 21:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You may be talking about Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson or Marcus Banks. Please check. --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • _{SERVICE RECORD} 01:35, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you gotta adjust your TV, he looks pretty white to me. 207.119.116.44 00:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

That's because he IS white, lol. --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • _{SERVICE RECORD} • _MESSAGE 05:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Halo 1 Stacker retconned out?

I submit that Bungie has retconned H:CE Stacker out. He wasn't one of the survivors mentioned in First Strike, he's clearly alive in 2 & 3 and all his H:CE appearances were replaced with other characters in The Flood. I think it's far more likely that he retroactively wasn't on Halo than he had an identical twin brother, was forgotten in First Strike or somehow managed to get off Halo, get a ship with a Slipspace drive and pilot home all on his own. --Pcm979 00:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I think they just used the same voice actor because he was already on a payroll, but no one else seems to want to accept this. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif|15px]] 00:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, that too. :) --Pcm979 00:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

As was recently mentioned by Staten, the games trump the books in official Halo continuity. Also, the front page specifies that this is a wiki documenting the universe of the games as augmented by the books, not the other way around. --Andrew Nagy 07:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

If that's an official ruling, I guess the discussion's over. As long as you're here, do you have an official ruling on the remaining options: That there were 2 Stackers, they forgot to put him in First Strike, or he escaped on his own?--Pcm979 17:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

No idea. Sorry for missing the question when you originally posted it. On rereading the thread I'm not sure it's any of those; the games seem to be canon for the broad strokes of the plot and cutscenes, not the fine details of which Marines appear where. IIRC Johnson can appear on AotCR when he's supposed to have left with Keyes, so maybe it's the same way with Stacker. --Andrew Nagy 19:01, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

They forgot to put him in first strikeGunnery Sargeant Stacker 07:40, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I reckon that the author of the flood had the lines to write in the book, but couldn't be stuffed to get the name so he made one up. anyway stacker has to be the awesomest minor character in the halo universe!!!!!!!!!!!Gunnery Sargeant Stacker 07:15, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

"Stacker" may simply be a common name at that time. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif|15px]] 20:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

With the same face and voice, too? At the very least they're related.--Pcm979 22:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Stacker

Are they all the same guy? Cause... I don't think so... AJFile:ArmyJROTC.jpg|20px]] 03:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll bite. Why not? The improbability of Halo 1 Stacker living?--Pcm979 21:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

That for one thing, and the fact that the halo 2 Stacker looks nothing like the halo 3 stacker. AJFile:ArmyJROTC.jpg|20px]] 21:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you have a picture for comparison? I'm having trouble finding one.--Pcm979 22:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Well that's easy... IT'S ON THE ARTICLE! AJ: BTW, does the fact that the H1 and H3 Stacker look the same, except for H2, make them the same? =P If the H1 Stacker didn't survive the Battle of Installation 04, then who's the Marine Sergeant (not to mention VOICED by the same actor) in Halo 3? It's really a confusing issue. =/ --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • _{SERVICE RECORD} •
