You can spot an enemy by pressing Left Alt (default binding) when your crosshairs are over them.

To add: Basically you can spot anywhere to convey some meaning to your team. "someone check this space, I think there's an infiltrator there"

@heishe Spotting will do nothing unless there's actually an enemy there. However, it still puts a marker where an enemy is even if that enemy doesn't have an IFF indicator (because they're at extreme range, or because they're jamming), so sometimes it's useful to just tap Alt to tell people "Hey, there's a hostile over there".
