Light 'Em Up is a Downloadable Special Ops Mission mode challenge in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it is part of Content Pack 8, which was released to Xbox 360 Elite Premium Members on August 7, 2012. It is set after Modern Warfare 3's campaign and sees two SAS operatives storming Makarov's stronghold to rescue a captive teammate. The enemies are Inner Circle insurgents, which also includes unique enemies that are hybrids of Suicide Bombers and Chemical Agents.[1][2]
This mission takes place after the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, as the destroyed bridge detonated by Yuri (or Price) can be seen while en route to the courtyard in the Little Bird, showing signs of reconstruction.
The locations of enemy intel in the beginning of the mission is randomized, as there are no preset enemies that will always carry the intel.
