Due to the recent integration of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone, a whole mess of bits and themed beads from the ’80s made their way to the free-to-play video game. This includes, but is not limited to, a bunch of 1980s songs, “War Tracks,” that can be taken out of vehicles in the popular video game. Thanks to the inclusion of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”, players can now “roll” each other.
Alternatively known as “rickrolling” or “being rickrolled” and so on, the basic premise of the meme is essentially to trick people into clicking on a link that unexpectedly leads to Rick Astley’s song. War zone adding the song is not exactly the same kind of meme, but the song itself is and will always be associated with it. And the “rickrolling” around Verdansk will surely drive some crazy.

If you’re wondering how to get the song for yourself, it’s part of the Battle Pass’s progress system for the game and is unlocked at level 94 along with “Shout” by Tears For Fears and “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls. The premium version is not required to unlock the song group, so virtually anyone who sings enough can get it for themselves.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 is currently underway. Both titles are currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, however War zone he is especially free to play. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the entire Call of Duty franchise here.
