There are two ways of eliminating enemies before combat - assassinations and stuns. You can stun one enemy at a time. It requires approaching him and holding a correct key. If you don't, Arno will leave him alone and the enemy will attack. Stunning requires a while, but it's silent. If other enemies have not seen you, you'll remain undetected. You can stun only one enemy at a time.
Assassination can be performed while you are behind the enemy or by jumping on him from a balcony or a roof. Assassinations are quick and you can defeat two enemies at a time. It is, however, loud and usually shows the enemies where you are. Usually, because the game doesn't always notice it. So if you have to stay quiet, use stuns. If you need to get rid of someone and you don't care about the noise, use assassinations.
