Equally important is the ability to mark enemies. Here you simply line up a tango and press the right bumper — when hidden, this targets them for a quiet kill, whereas in firefights it instructs your squad to concentrate fire on that enemy or vehicle. It works great and brings a lot of satisfaction when you can quietly sweep and clear an area. If you target four enemies at once and take them down (known as a Sync Shot) you’ll be rewarded with a temporary slowing of time, allowing you to finish off stragglers before they can raise the alarm. If anything, though, it can be a little too effective in combat as even distant snipers are quickly disposed of with midrange weaponry when marked.

Combat is based on under-the-hood dice rolls where attacks can be queued up and success is based on offensive and defensive skills. Once again you can switch freely between party members and pressing the bumper slows time dramatically. Pressing the bumper also brings up an ability wheel that allows you to select your attacks. Targets can be cycled through with the d-pad. It’s a decent setup.
