A clean-shaven Stacker was present at the October 20th awards ceremony on Cairo Station, minutes prior to the Battle for 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. While accompanying Johnson and Commander Miranda Keyes to board the frigate {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, the party was ambushed by Covenant and pinned down. John-117's timely arrival and aid allowed the ''In Amber Clad's'' leadership to board safely.<ref name="H2-Cairo">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station]]''</ref> | A clean-shaven Stacker was present at the October 20th awards ceremony on Cairo Station, minutes prior to the Battle for Earth beginning.

During the Battle for Earth, Stacker served in the [[7th ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]] of the [[105th ODST Division|105th Shock Division]].

The surviving four ODSTs were immediately engaged by a Covenant patrol led by a [[Sangheili]] [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations]]. During the brief assault, the Sangheili held [[Walpole|one of his troopers]] hostage momentarily before Stacker shot the Sangheili in the head.{{Ref/Reuse|H2-ADatB}} | ||
Stacker and his squad then holed up in the nearby Hotel Zanzibar, following the instructions of UNSC [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] while Spartan John-117 cleared a path to them. They were soon attacked by another group of Covenant infantry, and were pinned down in the hotel's lobby by a [[Type-42 plasma cannon|plasma cannon]] by the time John-117 arrived. Stacker then assisted the Chief in clearing the nearby beaches and tunnels of Covenant.<ref name="H2-Outskirts">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref> | Stacker and his squad then holed up in the nearby Hotel Zanzibar, following the instructions of UNSC [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] while Spartan John-117 cleared a path to them.

Spread throughout the wall in small fireteams, Stacker's men swiftly fell to the Flood parasite and the now-hostile Sentinels. With his force decimated but the [[Containment Shield]] now disabled, Stacker contacted ''In Amber Clad'' suggesting Keyes proceed straight to the Library while his troops attempted to hold their position. As he relayed the message, Stacker was set upon by a [[Pod infector|Flood Infection Form]], screaming for his Marines to remove it from him. A short time later, Stacker made contact with Keyes once again, confirming their engagement with non-Covenant hostile lifeforms, while [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Banks]] and other Marine survivors could be heard staging a desperate defense.{{Ref/Reuse|icon}} It is unknown how Stacker escaped the Quarantine Zone, however himself, Banks<ref name="journey">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> and his surviving Marines<ref>''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)#Inside Job|Gravemind]]''</ref> were ultimately captured by Covenant forces. | Spread throughout the wall in small fireteams, Stacker's men swiftly fell to the Flood parasite and the now-hostile Sentinels.

Later, as High Charity was overrun by the Flood-infested ''In Amber Clad'', captive Sergeants Stacker, Johnson and Banks were brought to a [[Bastion of the Brutes|series of structures]] held by the Jiralhanae.

The UNSC-operated Scarab cleared a path to the Installation's Control Room, while the Arbiter provided air support.{{Ref/Reuse|journey}} After the neutralization and subsequent blockading of Installation 05, Stacker was presumably evacuated by the Arbiter and his allies alongside Johnson and Miranda, returning to Earth around November 15, 2552.<ref name="lootcrate2">''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]</ref> | ||
