Remembering Bill Paxton’s Brush With Video Games In Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Earlier this morning the world was shocked to hear that acclaimed actor Bill Paxton had passed away at age 61 due to complications from surgery. Paxton wasn’t the flashiest actor in Hollywood, often inhabiting the role of the down-to-Earth straight man, but he made a name for himself in movies and TV shows like Aliens, Apollo 13, Twister, and Big Love. Paxton’s overall legacy won’t be soon forgotten, but some may not remember he once starred in a video game.

Way too young to die from 'complications from surgery'. That's usually something you hear from someone in their 80s or older :(

Life expectancy for men in the United States is 76, so, yes, 61 is young.

It is if I say to you that you will live to 100, that's 40 years.

We're living longer as Science improves.

What are you 10, onyoursistersback?

Judging by your name, you can't be much more than that.

Loved him as Chet in Weird Science.

Bathyj2615d ago

Cant believe hes dead.

Game over man. Game over.

Kleptic2615d ago

As a kid he drove me crazy in some of those 80's movies...but the nostalgia is inescapable, they all wouldn't have worked without him.

Nice night for a walk.

Can't tell you how many times I heard that line playing Alien 3 on my SNES. That game was freaking awesome!

Seriously though, Bill Paxton will always be an icon because of films like Aliens and Weird Science, and he will be missed.

JackTheLiz2615d ago

For whatever reason I was obsessed with Twister when i was a kid. I'm very sure part of it has to do with Pill Paxman's character. The man is a great talent and he'll be missed by all. Thanks for being part of all my childhood movies Bill.

That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.

LordoftheCritics383d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed AW.

Good campaign and everything.

LOGICWINS383d ago

Same. Fantastic campaign, but I wasn't crazy about the jetpacks in multiplayer.

RaidenBlack383d ago

I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch

CobraKai383d ago

I felt it was a good time to revisit WW2

porkChop383d ago

I actually really enjoyed WWII. I never understood the hate it got.

JEECE383d ago

A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.

Here’s hoping that a sequel just doesn’t happen.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the series' lone bright spot this gen

GR: "If one series truly defined the seventh generation of consoles it was Call of Duty. Sadly, the series has struggled to reach the same heights on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and only Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare feels like the previous era of innovation and top-notch storytelling."

I quite enjoyed it but I think black ops 3 was the high point.

Modern warfare could be if a few tweaks are made and the new maps are good.

Baza1632d ago (Edited 1632d ago )

Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.

Immorals1632d ago

Black ops 3 was terrible. The story was absolutely atrocious.

Knushwood Butt1632d ago

I quit that campaign after about an hour. All I remember is some crappy robot drone combat R2D2 thing that you had to use. I didn't make it past that.

Epicor1632d ago

For me the Black Ops installations have always been the high peaks in terms of PVP mode. Black ops 3 campaign was pretty bad though. Advanced Warfare's campaign was pretty good, one of the best ones - but PVP was bad!

gamer91632d ago

LOL Advanced Warfare, too funny

Kabaneri1632d ago

The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
