Here are my tips, if at all you care:
1) NEVER go guns blazing. All enemies are stronger than you, and the only way to defeat them is by finding the right location to take cover and hitting their weak spots.
2) Kill the wasps / aerostats first, or let your teammates take them out. I say this because you need a good vantage point for the other enemies like spiders, and these flyers tend to annoy you constantly when you move around. All you need to do to kill these is get one good shot with a shotgun. If not, just stay hidden until your teammates take them out; they are pretty good at that.
3) To kill spiders, always find a spot exact opposite to the majority of your team. If the spider is looking at your enemies, shoot its upper back (you'll see a red box highlighting the weak spot). If you can't shoot properly, just shoot until it turns your way, stay hidden and blind fire (press R2 without aiming). This will keep them focussed on you while your teammates get them from the back.
4) T600 / T7s are very hard to kill with rifles, so use your heavy weapons on these and soften them up (you'll see a blue light on them when they are weak). There is one machine gun (not the one you start the game with, but you should find it on the way) that does very heavy damage to these. I can't remember the name though. Most other rifles are very weak against these machines; but if you pick up this machine gun, you can shoot the machines' head and take them out in a few rounds. These machines also have some kind of glitch; if you get them to go near some corner and start shooting them, they seem to sort of freeze up and just stand their without doing much. You can continue firing from your cover, and they usually take a step or two back and forth but that's it. See if you can find this sweet spot and use it to your advantage.
5) In most levels, when you fight a lot of spiders and/or T600/T7s, look for a staircase or a platform to go to the next level. I found these on many locations, and they are perhaps the best vantage points you can get. Just climb up, position yourself right across your teammates and shoot. The enemies won't come up the stairs in most cases so you are very safe. There are 2-3 situations where T600s do come upstairs and screw you, but this is because the game is supposed to proceed this way; as in, it is not like they followed you just because they saw you hiding upstairs, they would've come up anyway.
6) When you shoot rockets at those motorcycle enemies, aim a little ahead of them, but not too much.
7) When you operate the blue harvester in level 7, use the missile fire on the AA guns or HKs (the big flying vehicles) as often as possible. They cause heavy damage but they take time to reload. So fire them as soon as you get them, switch to regular fire, go back to missiles as soon as they are ready. In short, don't forget they exist - they are quite powerful. If you are sure you are aiming right, feel free to press both L1 and R1 at the same to fire both missiles together. This will make sure your target gets hit pretty bad before it moves away, provided you aimed right.
