Stuck as a mofo

I'm stuck in this little area of Nova Prospekt, after you meet up with Alyx, where you have to set up three Machine Gun Turrets, and fend off half of the Combine Army.. It's being a sumbitch and it won't let me through. It's 2 parallel hallways, shaped a bit like an 'H' with two midsections.

This is really pissing me off... Any suggestions?

o yeah , just set them up facing the front two doors and one behind ( on either side ) ... and you hang out in that little hallway... just watch the turrets and keep them upright and you should be good

ok, this is ocming from the offical strategy guide in my own words...

when you are looking at the turrets in their cases or when you havent grabbed them yet, you want to put them to your right. to your right, there is another hall way, and to the right again there is a door. but one turret facing the door, another one directly behind it, and one more facing the little hallway where you picked them up. next, stay right next to them and MAKE SURE NONE FALL DOWN. if any fall, your chances of winning drops by like 50%.

this will last for 6 minutes. pretty much keep your g-gun up all the time to grab the turrets ift hey fall. if they fall, get them up within 2 seconds.

also, the grenades taht they throw you can grab with the g-gun and throw them back at them. that helps so much when i tried it.

gl to you.

Near sure i read somewhere something about sitting in the little cabinets you take the sentry guns from and holding one in front of you with the gravity gun, set the other pod back in the other cabinet thing and they wont be able to knock it down.

I set them close to the stair rail so a nade wouldnt knock them over as easily. Then just cover 1 side to the other until all badguys are gone. Use your gravity gun to restock on ammo before the forcefield goes down

My ingenious solution involved arranging the boxes in a pyramid to climb that
little area on the right side and setting up the turrets to face both directions.
Basically, No one could touch me at all and if (by chance for them) one of the
turrets fell, I would just put it back up.

What I did was go to the turret room, turn all the turret around in their lockers so they can't be knocked over. Then wait in the empty one. Once in a while I have to shoot someone in the face or use the grav gun to get a grenade out of their, but I only took like 10 damage the whole time.

god

nah, i did it first time, i knew placement was the key. i used the shotgun all the time during it, is a good test of planning

My and Akumas way is teh best: Take out the turrets in the left bank first, and put them back in their pods, but facing OUT. Then recharge on shields and health. Then turn off the shield protecting the only turret on the right bank. Take that turret out, and put it facing out in the farthest right pod. Then whip out the shotgun and get in the left cubby in teh right bank. use the gravity gun to remove any grenades, and ull be fine.
