Can I play The Division with a friend from a different continent?
For people who have owned The Division on the PS4, I had a couple of questions regarding the co-op multiplayer section
My friend and I stay in completely different continents. Will The Division let me play with my friend? (How do you basically initiate a co-op campaign with a particular friend?)
Will I be able to chat with him over microphone at all times?
Thank you for your help

There is a Reddit post here that answers your question.
It looks like the servers for The Division are not regionalized, so if you want to be play co-op with a friend, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from doing so.
And about the microphone/chat... I don't see why that would work differently than normal (i.e. Players in the same region). I would fully expect you to have the same chat capabilities as other players.

Playing with friends is actually pretty simple though. Just hop into your social menu in game (which you can access by opening the main menu with Esc) and then send your friend an invite. This should give them a prompt to accept and then you're golden.Is the division offline multiplayer?
You don't need to team up or go up against other players in PvP, but you'll always need to be connected to the game's servers in order to play. There is no way to do this offline.How do you play with friends on Division 2?

Answer 2
I believe this would be absolutely fine, in my general matchmatching I seem to find a lot of Americans so there doesn't seem to be any regioning in the matchmaker (meaning it's technically fine).
As others have said, normal party chat over microphones is what me and my friends do with no problems, as a result combining these two should give you the outcome you want.
