Half-Life 2 question

how do you get out of the situation in the prison where you
get three automatic gun turrets and soldiers basically start
flooding in for ages? i just cannot seem to get past this
part.

is there a trick?

block one of the entrances with boxes so they can't come
through there. Also set your turrets in corners so they
can't knock them over. That's how I did it.

I did it by setting up the turrets in front of me and behind
me in the open plan room where the turret cupboards are.
Crouch and shoot. Don't put the turrets too close to the
hallway otherwise they will get knocked down.

I put the turrets right in front of 3 of the entrances and
cosntantly ran between them, killing a few of the soldiers
each time and putting the turrets back up if necessary.
Obviously this will leave one of the entrances open so you
have to cover that one more than the other 3.

no im actually brilliant. but they made an exclusive,
specially-difficult edition just for me. horsefactory i
tried your technique too, but the fuckers keep coming. i
like the ginger one's suggestion to block entrances with
boxes, although i suspect the fuckers will still find a way
to circumvent this tick using their ingenious fuckerness.

I set the turrets up somewhere, but the knocked them down at
the begining. I went in to booth in one of the rooms and
just blasted those motherfuckers with my guns.

This part is prolly the hardest part in the game.

What I find works best is to rush to keep the turrets up
using the gravity gun (listen to Alyx!). Also, when the
manhacks come after you, grab them with the gravity gun and
smash them against the wall or floor.

As for the Overwatch, just keep blasting away at 'em. Use
the shotgun, magnum, MP7, or pulse rifle. MP7's probably the
best weapon to use, since there's an ammo crate for it in
the second small corridor. Don't hesitate to use MP7
grenades and pulse rifle energy orbs as well.

Main thing is, keep your gravity gun handy for manhacks, and
KEEP THE TURRETS UP AT ALL TIMES. That way your chances of
success would increase.

Gawdz I'm such a nerd. =p

Cover the entrances and shoot the bad guys

yeah actually i think i did it gigingers way of blocking the
entrances.

It took me a lot of tries to beat that part. I even brought
all 3 turrets into one of those small cells and placed them
in what I thought would be an invincible position, but I got
owned by grenades and whatnot.

you don't need to use the gravity gun for putting the
turrets back up. you can also pick them up just by using the
"use" button. it's easier that way i think.

putting turrets in the corners really helps them to make at
least 4 or 5 kills before being knocked over

the way I got through this part was setting up the turrets
as close to the center of that room as possible looking out
each way. they managed to pick guys off as they were running
up the stairs, and from that distance the combine couldn't
hit the turrets very well. Regardless, they made it to the
room pretty quickly and I just hid in the "locker" type
walls and would just double shotgun (or even single works if
its a well placed shot) every time they would round the
corner. There was literally a pile of dead combine in front
of me when they finally stopped attacking. I guess it
requires being a fast shot with the shotgun, but it worked
for me.

Did anyone else have the problem in the first two turret
battle where the turrets only shot at YOU? I survived the
first part all alone, but cheated in the second part. It was
the only way. (cuz I ain't THAT 1337 yet) Oddly enough, they
worked just fine in the third...
