Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler duke it out inside Call of Duty.
By Eddie Makuch on
Call of Duty's latest Dune tie-in DLC was just recently announced, featuring the characters Feyd-Rautha and Paul Atreides. But who is better at Call of Duty? The actors who play them, Austin Butler and Timothee Chalamet, have settled the score.
Activision got the two together in a room to duke it out in a knives-only cage fight on the fan-favorite map Rust. Butler and Chalamet also reflect on how their in-game characters look, with Chalamet remarking that he looks better in the game than he does in real life. There can be only one winner, though, so be sure to watch until the end to see who comes out on top.
The Paul Atreides bundle is available in Call of Duty now for 2,400 COD Points, or about $20. The Feyd-Rautha bundle is apparently coming sometime later. There is also a Dune: Trial of Power in-game event going on now that allows players to grind to unlock extra content in Modern Warfare III and Warzone.
Chalamet once ran a YouTube channel called ModdedController360, where he would custom paint Xbox 360 controllers and highlight his work. At The Game Awards recently, Chalamet was introduced as ModdedController360 before he got on stage to reveal Baldur's Gate 3 as the Game of the Year. Chalamet's personal Game of the Year, however, was Spider-Man 2.
Dune: Part II was supposed to come to theaters in November before it was delayed. It's now set to come to theaters in March--check out the newest Dune: Part II trailer here.
In other Call of Duty news, there is a free trial for Modern Warfare III that runs now through December 18, so anyone can jump in and try the multiplayer.

One of the biggest strengths of Lego is that you're only limited to your imagination. You're given a bunch of blocks and told to make whatever you like, and the same can mostly be said for Lego Fortnite, the free-to-play Minecraft-style mode recently added to Fortnite. While players are managing to make airships and recreate Star Destroyers, there's one big problem players are running into that's stopping them from unleashing their true creativity.
Finally hitting Netflix this week, the road to Maestro has indeed been a long one. The biographical drama which tells the story of the great composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein was originally meant to be helmed by Martin Scorsese. However, choosing instead to focus on his gangster epic The Irishman, Scorsese stepped down and the project soon landed in the hands of none other than Steven Spielberg. Given that at the time he was working on his version of West Side Story, which features music by Bernstein, it just "made sense" as Spielberg’s producing partner Kristie Macosko Krieger tells GamesRadar+.

Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen will meet in a battle of blades in Dune: Part Two next year. But in a delightful video released Wednesday, the actors behind those characters, Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler, fought for supremacy in a match of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It’s an up-close and all-too-brief look at Chalamet’s personal gaming style and what could be Butler’s first time holding a video game controller.
The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for November, typically the biggest gaming month of the year, and surprisingly, the results weren’t that great. Players spent $5.9 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in November, a 9 percent year-on-year decrease. This was largely driven by a 24 percent drop in hardware spending, with all consoles being down double digits year-on-year. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by the Xbox Series X/S, with the Switch really dropping off this season. It seems like inflation, and rumors that a new Switch is right around the corner, likely impacted hardware sales this year.
