There were 4 people, against Cerberus, in a Bronze level difficulty. I do not know the map (Edit: Firebase Giant), but it was not either of the ones in the demo. I was a Level 1 Human Soldier.
Wave 3 or 4, we were supposed to deactivate some devices. I ran up to a console, and then noticed Cerberus forces attacking me from 3 different angles. So I hit space to go under cover and worry about deactivating it once the situation was a bit more manageable.
Somehow I got into a state where I was unable to deactivate the device, but I could move around all I wanted. I walked up behind the solders and they ignored me, so I assumed it was lag and then waited for the servers to sync. I could shoot them, but they would take no damage. However, when an ally would finish them off, I would get some assist points. When I melee the enemies, I would get no credit for assist, and they would take no damage. But if I stood there long enough, they would melee me and hurt me, or if I stayed in the open for too long, in one place, they would shoot... eventually.
Eventually I noticed that they could melee me and I would take some shield damage, but they would not shoot at me.
A couple waves later, my Assault rifle ran out of ammo and I was unable to pick up more.
I used the sniper rifle and hit a Shield guy (Edit: Guardian) through the slot and watched him stagger back, with no HP loss.
I found myself to be most useful in Reviving other people, and pushing enemies out of hiding.
When the first Atlas showed up, it shot a missile and killed me in one hit. Next round, a Phantom killed me in one hit.
In Wave 10, I noticed that I could pick up ammo for my sniper rifle, and head-shots to the low level enemies would kill them and award me a kill. I also noticed that teammates could revive me, but I would still be unable to get Assault Rifle ammo.
I ended up feeling like a drain on the team as I was unable to help against the real threats, I do not know the cause. I suspect the cause involved some combination of Deactivating a device, hiding under cover, shooting, and getting hit.
Edit: (Some specifics I can remember)
-Location: Firebase Giant.
-I was a guest, not a host.
-Using the PC (This is the PC Technical Support) My PC is well above Recommended settings, and I use an SSD.
-Other 3 players seemed to be fine, but with no means of communication, I was unable to be certain. (I didn't know how to use my Microphone, and Text Chat doesn't work).
-I was able: to Move around the map seamlessly, Die, Revive, score assist points, distract enemies, stagger enemies, and use the sniper rifle to one-hit kill Assault Troopers in Wave 10 with headshots. (I had a unmodified Mantis I and Avenger I equped).
-I was unable to: Interact with mission objectives, cause damage, pick-up ammo for Assault Rifle, get shot at by dancing in the middle of open space surrounded by enemies (Unless there was an Atlas or Phantom there, or within melee range)
