Talk:Chips Dubbo

Should be Added

Considering there is a huge Australian connection with Halo and Bungie the following trivia is important:

There is actually an Australian town called Dubbo in the State of New South Wales. Two ships in the Australian Navy are named after the town:

• HMAS Dubbo (J-251/M-251) was a Bathurst class corvette sold for scrap in 1958
• HMAS Dubbo (P-214) is a Fremantle class patrol boat.Wikipedia Dubbo Link

I don't think so. These things have nothing to do with Halo, and only by chance share the name "Dubbo" and I doubt the character was made in homage to there hardly-notable things. -ED 21:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure... Chips Dubbo's Australian, and so are the town and ships, so I'm not sure if it's a co-inky-dink or something more... g^ue_st^y-p_er^so_ny-^th_in^gy 21:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I higly doubt they chose to name a charachter for them, though. They're just not that well known, frankly. A homage is usually more obvious. -ED 21:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, this is Bungie we're talking about, and they can be pretty weird sometimes, but, unless a direct link is shown in Halo 3, it shouldn't be put in the article. g^ue_st^y-p_er^so_ny-^th_in^gy 21:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

All right. We can leave it here on the talk page unless the link becomes more clear. -ED 21:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Dubbo is a well known town in Aus and i find it hard to believe that he's NOT named after it. Probably suggested by the vocie actor Andrew McKagie who was born just down the road in Melbourne. - Seven

Chips Dubbo?

I know everyone knows that as his name....but what source reveals his name?--User:JohnSpartan117 22:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it might have been in the credits... G^üé_ߣ^¥-∏_éҐ^∫ø_ñ¥-^†ħ_îИ^g¥ 22:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Halo 1's credits is the only source I know of. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 22:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Isn't Chips Dubbo in halo 2? halopedia's article on the level Regret said Dubbo and stacker help you through the level. But if dubbo didn't survive halo combat evolved, is this another dubbo? Im confused.  :)

The book

He was in the book. And I could'a sworn that in Halo 2, I heard someone say "Dubbo cover our rear", on Delta Halo.

Also it's one of those things where you know it's the same guy, but nothing confirms it. Like how theres Sergeant Stacker on halo combat evolved, and on Halo 2 there's Gunnery Sergeant Stacker, you know there the same person, it's just not confrimed.

You never know that they are the same person. At the start of the war, Humanity's population was approx. 60 billion, therefore, some of the strangest names can be shared by tens of thousands of people. Add that to the fact that many people have brothers and the lack of many survivers from Halo and you get a tiny chance that good ol' Chips is in Halo 2

Doh! gotta sign the name! The one directly above is by me. 4.244.183.130 22:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Dude, why would bungie spend so much time on that??? I think that all those Halo books are wrong, and that Dubbo and Stacker survived, just on another pelican. And how can you know that when a ship crashes everyone is dead. Also, where is your reference for humanity having a population of 60 billion?
