PreMission
During the briefing mode, (where you buy your
weapons, mods and the such) you can select how
many and which syndicates you want. To select or
deselect your syndicates, hold the command key (the
one with the apple on it) and click on the syndicate.
When the syndicate is selected for the mission, he/she
will be highlighted. When the syndicate is deselected,
he/she will be dark.
 
  You can click the "team" button to change members
of the team. To toggle between the syndicates, you
can use the number keys on the keyboard and click
on the new syndicate.
Why would you want less than four syndicates? Maybe
it is too much trouble to control all four. Or maybe
you don't need that much firepower. The number of
syndicates you use is up to you and doesn't really
affect game play much.
Mission
After you start your mission, you can control your
syndicates with your mouse. Just click where you want
the syndicate to move, and the syndicate will find it's
way there. You can click on the active screen or click
on the map to direct the syndicates.
To pick which syndicate to perform a task: click on
the syndicate in the active screen (this might be tough
sometimes) or press the number of the syndicate (i.e.
press "1" or "4" on the keyboard to select that syndicate
Note: you may have to press twice or three times to
engage the syndicate) or you can click on the box of
the syndicate that you want.
 
If you like to control all four syndicates at once, then
click in the center bar with the four small stick figures.
 
To select a weapon, tool or item, just click on the item
you want selected and that item will become active. If
you have the control all bar active then all syndicates
will try to use that item if they have it.
There are three controls under each syndicate to
enhance their abilities to perform certain tasks.
 
 
 
Droping or Transferring items during a mission
Sometimes you will need to drop certain items
in your inventory. Maybe you ran out of ammo
or you are weighed down and can't run fast enough.
Or maybe you need to pick up the mission objective
and don't have extra room.
Either way, just hold down the command button
and click on the item that you want to drop.
To give another syndicate an item, hold down the
command button and drag the item to the other
syndicate. This is useful if a syndicate needs a
weapon and your other syndicate has a spare.
