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 u e s t y -p e r s o n y -t h i <font color="#00ff00">n <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">y  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. <font color="#000000">g <font color="#770000">u <font color="#cc0000">e <font color="#ff0000">s <font color="#ff3333">t <font color="#ff6666">y -<font color="#9999ff">p <font color="#6666ff">e <font color="#3333ff">r <font color="#0000ff">s <font color="#0000cc">o <font color="#000066">n <font color="#000000">y -<font color="#000000">t <font color="#007700">h <font color="#00cc00">i <font color="#00ff00">n <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">y  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

I agree with User:Guesty-Persony-Thingy. It is a big coincidence that he is named after so many australian things. There should be a Trivia section, stating these things.-TheDevilMayCry 08:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have Halo 3 screen shots of him?

Chips Dubbo?
I know everyone knows that as his name....but what source reveals his name?--User:JohnSpartan117 22:40, 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. :)

He escaped somehow. He might have escaped on another pelican with other survivors like Stacker (who was also in combat evolved), just Master Chief and Cortana never bumped into them. Remember that Johnson and crew survived even though Cortana's scans picked up no signs of life. Assuming that Dubbo is in Stacker's squad, Stacker and Johnson could have met up on earth. Having recognised each other from fighting on Alpha Halo. and therefore Stacker would have been on In Amber Clad to take part in the attack on Delta Halo. He would then fight with Johnson and Stacker through the events in Halo 2 and escape back to earth. Stacker is also seen with Johnson when he was sent to retrieve master chief from his crash site in the jungles of Kenya. It can be assumed that Chipps is also in that party and so would fight through the events in Halo 3 and would have escaped back to earth onboard Shadow of Intent along with Johnson and Stacker.

Name is here. - DarkbelowHGR   CommbandD  06:08, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

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?


 * How could they survive on another pelican? Pelicans dont have splipspace drives. xX Relicz Xx 20:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. But the books are good aren't they? (Don't answer that was rhetorical) Helljumper94 14:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC) What about the 2 ships on Boarding Action? They are in the same system and look like they have slipspace drives. Just a thought.

There are also huge holes in their sides...Logmon 20:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Chips dubbo is probably something that a guy who is really into halo came up with. He just took a marine and gave him a name. Then he said he survived the events of halo.--Canadian Reject 23:14, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

The character Chips Dubbo exists for sure, did you look at the sources? His name is in the credits of Halo: Combat Evolved right next to the name of his voice actor, so it's certain that there is a character with the name of Chips Dubbo at least in Halo CE. I believe that that's all that we know for sure. Outside of that, I'm pretty sure everything else here is somewhat speculative. (Unscientifical 23:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC))

Okay, I'll look out for his name in the credits.--Canadian Reject 15:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

ODST
In the aricle, it saids that he was a ODST, but how do we know? Anyone have a source for this.SPARTAN-177 22:10, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

In Halo 2 and 3, some ODSTs can be heard saying his lines. Also, he (wearing an ODST armor) said "Dear Sarge, kicking ass in outer space, wish you were here!" in Halo 2's level Delta Halo. Sorry for the late reply.--S331 21:00, 27 October 2010 (EDT)

Chips Dubbo in two places at once
I noticed there has been mention that Chips Dubbo was apparently in two places at once. I disagree seeing as the Australian Marine (the one who is claimed to be Chips Dubbo) which Buck encounters in Halo 3 ODST does not state his name as being "Chips Dubbo". (Then again I guess he never really does - but the Australian Marine from Halo: Combat Evolved is fondly believed to be a stoic veteran and currently an ODST)

I'd have to say that the Marine Buck encounters is probably just another Australian out of the possible MANY Australian Marines serving in the UNSC. Bungie just got lazy with the voice acting.

Chips Dubbo would have been moved to the ODST unit with Sergeant Johnson considering his veteran status of the previous Halo installation. As the storyline goes when he drops in with the chief later on.

That's just my take on it.

You are right, considering the UNSC is made up a ton of races the supposed "Dubbo" is probably another Austrillian Marine jusst with the same voicing, due to limited resources. --Sgt.T.N.Biscuits 04:50, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * We now have a Halo MCC ODST achievement called "Two Places, Same Time", with the description being "I've got my eye on you, Marine.". Love it! Alex T Snow (talk) 03:22, 30 May 2015 (EDT)

Pictures needed!
WE need pictures of him maybe in combat but we really need a picture of him in both Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, and Halo 3!Thank you taking time to listen to my post! 22:40, February 11, 2010 (UTC)!
