Where the Call of Duty: Warzone servers are
Activision does not publish a list of Warzone data centers. The game client measures your ping to its data centers when it starts and between matches, and matchmaking places each lobby on a data center with low average ping for the players in it. If the queue is quiet, matchmaking can widen the search and put you on a farther data center. Activision publishes no manual server picker for Warzone.
Activision publishes no list of Call of Duty: Warzone server locations, so this page names no region and the test times all of them.
What Activision says about ping
Activision says a latency of 200 ms would count as a poor experience in Call of Duty and can put a player at a disadvantage against players with lower ping.
Our test reads its own bands next to that: Excellent under 40 ms, Good 40 to under 80 ms, Playable 80 to under 130 ms, Poor 130 ms and above. These are our lines, not Activision's.
