Server locations for Crossfire

Despite not being the most popular title in the Western hemisphere, Crossfire is wildly popular in China, Korea, and some other parts of Asia. So, while you might think there aren’t any dedicated EU and US Crossfire servers, you would be very wrong. The game can be played from just about any location without any major lag.

Locations of game servers

Despite its old age, there are many Crossfire servers to choose from. The game is especially popular in Asia, and the arrival of new-gen consoles has prolonged its shelf life. So, no matter where you live, you will be able to have a really nice online experience.

Importance of Crossfire server location

If you wish to have a smooth gaming experience, it is crucial to find a server close to your location. Basically, the closer you are to it, the lower your ping. Keep in mind that the server doesn’t have to be in your home country. As long as you’re on the same continent, it should work just fine.

Some players might go to “foreign” servers just so they can play with friends from different countries and continents. In such cases, the best thing you can do is to get a VPN and change your actual location (as there is no other way to circumvent the issue).

If you’re lagging, but are not certain that it's due to ping, it is best to check the data in-game. Here is a short guide that will teach you how to show ping in Crossfire. You can also check the company’s social media accounts for the latest updates on potential server issues.
