Knowing the rotations of each Hardpoint is absolutely a competitive advantage. This is why Teams that work together and communicate will always beat a team of random players that do not communicate, especially if one team knows the rotations better than the other team. To increase your advantage, make sure you rotate to the new point when there is around 20 seconds remaining in the map, surely by 15 seconds. If your team coordinates this properly, you can also control the spawn locations of the enemy team by spreading out and holding key locations each point and rotation.

Do you want to optimize your Gaming PC? As we all know, it is really easy to remove most programs from a Windows PC, but what about the programs that won't allow you to uninstall from the App/Program Manager? Well, here is the workaround to remove those pesky bloatware programs that nobody uses but Microsoft doesn't want you to remove.


1. Open Start Menu and search "Windows PowerShell".

2. Right Click on "Windows Power Shell" and select "Run as administrator".

3. Copy and Paste the following commands one by one, then hit enter. Done.





Copy and paste this into PowerShell to remove Microsoft Edge:

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge* | Remove-AppxPackage

(then hit enter)




Copy and paste this into PowerShell to remove Microsoft Windows Maps

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsMaps* | Remove-AppxPackage

(then hit enter)


Copy and paste this into PowerShell to remove Microsoft Your Phone

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.YourPhone* | Remove-AppxPackage

(then hit enter)


If you'd like to find the other bloatware programs on your PC that you can remove, type this into PowerShell:

Get-AppxPackage

(then hit enter)



The Get-AppxPackage command will show you a large list of all the names of applications on your PC. Reference the 'Name' of each application as shown, then replace the <AppNameHere> with the name of the bloatware as shown in AppxPackage: type Get-AppxPackage *<AppNameHere>* | Remove-AppxPackage then press the Enter key.


I recommend you remove the following bloatware programs from your gaming PC:

  • Your Phone

  • Xbox Gaming Overlay

  • Zune Video

  • People

  • Wallet

  • Phone

  • Edge (use Chrome instead...)

  • Maps

To make it convenient for you, simply... COPY AND PASTE THESE COMMANDS INTO POWERSHELL ONE AT A TIME (then hit enter):


Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.YourPhone* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.ZuneVideo* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.People* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.Wallet* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge* | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsMaps* | Remove-AppxPackage
