Just purchased the 2006 holiday collection...

[Utahraptor]

I bought the 2006 holiday collection and played half-life two and managed to beat it on expert over Saturday and Sunday. I like the game and it was fun, however I do have one major complaint. When you first get to use the turrets to defend yourself, I decided I would be clever and carry one with me for as long as I could. It was quite hard actually to keep it going as I went, however when I finally got to a place where it would be useful, it turns out I was given more turrets for defense - except - I got shafted out of the benefit of having that extra turret for the turret lockers only had 3 turrets in them instead of 4 since it was limiting me to 4 even though I took extra special effort to bring one along.

Did this happen to anyone else the first time they played the game and did it make you mad? I tried it on another occasion later on and it is a good weapon to carry around, but when you get to the next turret spot, you always gets shafted for your efforts.

I guess Valve intended it that way.

In the second turret section you only get 3 even if you don't bring one along.

If you bring one then it helps a lot. I played through using just the 3 first time and it doesn't quite cover every path, with 4 though it's fantastic.

Thanks for the info! I just assumed that one was missing since there was an empty slot. I feel rewarded for my efforts now lol. And yes, having 4 is really helpful especially since they keep getting knocked down.

You're supposed to be in the fourth box.

I usually bring both of the turrets along so I have 5... and then chuck all the large boxes down over the balcony in order to block the doors. Becomes pretty easy that way
