Here’s what our Cold War heatmap (coldmap?) looks like from Cambridge.

You can use this to locate the best server for you at any given time. Ping Heatmap visualises your ping to the servers from top games (including Cold War and Warzone!). The easiest way to see that is by using Ping Heatmap, one of the new features in DumaOS 3.0. Generally, the server with the best performance will be the one that’s closest to you. Not only that but depending on where you are, the answer might change over time. That’s a good question – and the answer isn’t necessarily obvious. With the possible addition of Salt Lake City servers, players may finally have a close connection to a COD server, no matter where you are in the US. With what seems to be an introduction of a server in Salt Lake City, you could set a Geo-Fence around Utah to ensure your games are always close to home. If you’ve experienced lag before in Wyoming, Utah, Montana or Idaho, maybe the COD servers in San Fran, Seattle and Wichita just weren’t close enough to you. The Middle East might not be the only players benefitting from new server goodness, though. With support for Middle Eastern gamers, this is a change that should hopefully be here to stay. Of course, this started to change earlier in the year with Activision began utilising these servers for Warzone from as early as Spring 2020. This is huge for players in the Middle East, who have suffered with no real close server connections for a long time. For the first time, Black Ops: Cold War is the first COD title that launches with servers in Saudi Arabia and Qatar from day one. There’s Middle Eastern Servers Nowįinally. When we collated information on the server locations, we found a few new changes we thought you might like to hear.
