Bundle doesn't mean anything, it just means it's part of cod HQ, the only thing you need to access warzone is the cod HQ since it's the launcher for all of it.
And warzone does show up:

FYI MW3 was made available on GP on the launch of the new season (24th) https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/07/23/modern-warfare-3-coming-to-game-pass-july-24/

I think the new season has way more to do with influx of cheaters as opposed to hitting gamepass

Maybe a coincidence or perhaps a combination of both. Noticed a load of dodgy low level Xbox players (at least half of my MP games) from the last few days but that's probably another factor.

Its a huge reason I mainly play on PS with crossplay off though I know there are cheats on console as well.
The problem with any cheat detection is its only going to reliably detect the free cheats anyhow.
The better paid versions that people sub to are always going to be ahead of cheat detectors
You can't get warzone on the windows store unless you get it as part of a MW3 bundle. You can test this on an account without MW3 (or 2 etc) or gamepass and search for warzone on it. I give up trying to explain it to you.Bundle doesn't mean anything, it just means it's part of cod HQ, the only thing you need to access warzone is the cod HQ since it's the launcher for all of it.

You can, just not mods that requires messing with the .exe/scripts.

This is why I play these games on console. Kill crossplay and watch the cheaters vanish. More equal playing field too. Sucks because my PC is strong but i’ll gladly pay the online fee to avoid cheaters.

You should give up, because you're not explaining anything, not anything that aligns with reality anyway; you are completely wrong:
Not even signed in I can find warzone just fine on the ms store and on xbox.com
And as I explained before, the "bundle" doesn't mean anything, since MWIII isn't bundled with warzone:
The only reason it says bundle, as I explained before, is because its part of, as in bundled, with COD HQ (the thing that just says "Call of Duty").

M&K isn't even an advantage on cod. It's a disadvantage and most sweats use controller.Another perfectly good reason why PC players should not be forced upon the console population (you can’t disable PC crossplay on Xbox).
As if M&K wasn’t enough of an advantage, they have to run cheats as well.
(Not all of them obviously, before panties start getting twisted)
OT:
I read a few gaffers predicting this a few days ago.

Not really as the pathetic aim assist on CoD is almost auto aim. Controllers usually dominates.

Just tried this on Mrs Clarky's PC. No Gamepass or MWIII. This is false.

Wrong, wrong, brimming over with wrongness. As a pretty damn good (even if I do say so myself) M&K user (many many years of Unreal Tournament), I KNOW M&K me would absolutely destroy controller me over the course of a game.
There is a reason me and my console buddies don’t go near Warzone anymore despite loving it for its first year. Absolutely dominated by PC squads.

How did gamepass ruin a free to play game?

Nah its not. Im Diamond ranked playing on PC controller ( i know im weird, injury prevents long periods of K+M).
I do more than just fine. Controller is absolutely viable.

"Me vs me" is not relevant. A player with good "muscle memory" on controller + assist can easily obliterate a good m&kb player.
Warzone pro HusKerrs explains why controller is better than mouse & keyboard - Dexerto
Call of Duty: Warzone star HusKerrs has revealed why he thinks controller is better than mouse and keyboard for playing the battle royale.
www.dexerto.com
HusKerrs is an MKB player and the only player inside Warzone’s top 10 highest earners who doesn’t use a controller. When a fellow MKB streamer, IceManIsaac, surprisingly revealed that he thought controller was better — HusKerrs agreed and explained how it provides an advantage.
As HusKerrs points out, controller players are at an advantage because of movement and close-range fights. The former is likely thanks to analog sticks, which make it very easy and intuitive to move your character in a full range of motion.
The latter point is likely due to aim assist, which means that players are able to keep their cross-hairs on opponents up close while moving around.

The aim assist is really strong, so strong it has gotten me killed as well; trying to aim at someone but then someone else runs past and suddenly my gun is following that dude lol.

Of course me v me is relevant. My point is I’ve been playing long enough with both to know the pros and cons of each. You can quote ‘Elite’ players all you want, but I don’t believe for a minute it holds true for the majority of players. Otherwise every PC player would be on a controller.
Quite simply, you cannot snap onto heads/targets anywhere near as easily with a controller than you can with a M&K.
Aim assist on controller is the only thing that makes it remotely possible to have cross play with M&K, but even then it’s limited to to close/medium play. And has as many cons as it does pros (it’s as likely to knock your aim than it is to assist you).
Anyway, an argument for another thread! I would die on this hill by the way

Some PC players don't see a point in playing with controllers and even less with aim assist for obvious reasons.

Warzone and MWIII multiplayer are two different things.
Not sure why you find it so hard to believe free game is free. Taken directly from the windows store.
Like i said the tweet is bullshit with no receipts, then to top it off the article references MWIII when the tweet is talking about warzone.
Like other have said new season just started, COD is busiest during these times = more cheaters.

I've played warzone professionally and I can tell you for sure controller has the advantage on that game. All things even it wouldn't but Activision jacked up the aim assist to keep controller players happy.

YO that first page is wild.
Obviously this is to do with Gamepass and NOT to do with a new season starting leading to an influx of players and this cheaters..........

OK good spot, your powers of deduction are unmatched.
The original tweet was about Warzone. Do you have trouble reading the thread? Would you like me to bring you up to speed if you can't be arsed?

Top ten players in the world says different.
Bundle doesn't mean anything, it just means it's part of cod HQ, the only thing you need to access warzone is the cod HQ since it's the launcher for all of it.
And warzone does show up:
Maybe it's a regional thing or recent thing that isn't working properly
I'm certainly not the only one with this:
Needing MW and needing to be installed from Battle.net (for PC) :
41 people with the same question of it not being available :
Are you sure when you click install it doesn't try to install to an xbox you own? I haven't had an xbox since 2014-15.

There are always outliers and freaks, but by their very definition they are not normal.

Edit: also did you even look at those links?
The first one is from 2022 when MWIII wasn't even out yet and warzone actually was tied to MWII, and the second one is from 2023 when COD wasn't on the ms store or the xbox app at all.

Nope deffo works. Search for COD instead. I didn't complete the download because obviously im not downloading 300gb but started the download then stopped after a gig or so.Maybe it's a regional thing or recent thing that isn't working properly

The size of the download suggests it is also downloading MWIII or II or both as well. But you won't be able to start those titles through CODHQ until you purchase them i'd guess. But again im not downloading 300gig just to check lol.

But the freaks would all be on Kb+M if it was the better option. Sure you'd get the odd outlier but the majority of the best players gravitate to the best control option.
I'm not saying gamepad is better than KB+M generally by the way, obviously not. But in this particular game with the amount of assists pad users get coupled with the best players in the world also using pads, it certainly seems that way.

Actually, playing MW3 with a controller gives you a huge advantage over M&K.Another perfectly good reason why PC players should not be forced upon the console population (you can’t disable PC crossplay on Xbox).

It's aim-assist galore.

"Best" players.
What defence? M&KB don't need defence. That "lack" of any aim assist speaks for itself.

Long range KB+M has a clear advantage in this game. Close up you'll get deleted by a gamepad player, it almost feels like cheating the amount of aim assist there is."Best" players.
