-During the Battle of Earth, Gunnery Sergeant Stacker served in the [[7th ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]] of the [[105th ODST Division|105th Shock Division]]. He had shaven off his facial hair. He was dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} with a squad of ODSTs to relieve UNSC Marine infantrymen stationed in the city. 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-26 Wraith|Wraiths]].

+A clean-shaven Stacker was present at the October 20th awards ceremony on Cairo Station, minutes prior to the Battle of 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. He then accompanied Johnson and Commander Miranda Keyes to board the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, but they were ambushed by Covenant and pinned down. John-117's timely arrival and aid allowed the In Amber Clad's leadership to board safely.
-Stacker was evacuated to ''In Amber Clad'' along with the rest of the 105th. Despite this, he was also present in New Mombasa after Regret's [[Solemn Penance|assault carrier]] had withdrawn from the city, fighting alongside the members of [[Edward Buck]]'s [[Alpha-Nine|ODST squad]].<ref name="h3r">'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Kizingo Boulevard (level)|Kizingo Boulevard]]''</ref>
+During the Battle of Earth, Gunnery Sergeant 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 leading a ODSTs in a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] under the command of Sergeant Major Johnson. Upon entering a section of the city under heavy assault by the Covenant, his 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 of Stacker's squad]]. The surviving four 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 squad 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 clearing the nearby beaches and tunnels from Covenant.<ref name="outskirts">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]'' - "''A Day at the Beach"''</ref>
+Later in the battle, without his squad or any other UNSC forces, he crossed paths with John-117 once again in [[New Mombasa]] driving a [[Gauss Warthog]]. He suggested the SPARTAN-II commandeer the [[M68 Gauss Cannon|Gauss cannon]], and he assisted the SPARTAN-II in liberating the nearby Marine command post, which was under the bombardment of several [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]]. Clearing out the attacking Covenant, they reached the command post, where Stacker relieved the highest-ranking survivor [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Banks]] of his authority, while Banks assisted the SPARTAN-II in destroying the Scarab walker. Sergeant Stacker's efforts allowed UNSC forces in the area to be supplemented, re-supplied, and eventually evacuated, though it appears he was unable to save his squad, who did not accompany him in the subsequent fighting on Delta Halo.<ref name="metropolis">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]'' - ''"This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us"''</ref>
+Stacker was evacuated to ''In Amber Clad'' along with John-117, Johnson and the rest of the 105th, before the Ship pursued the [[Regret|Prophet of Regret's]] Carrier through a slipspace portal that inflicted heavy damage upon the city.
