Stuck in the Nova Prospekt nick!

[Lonis]

First of all Hi everyone! This new Half Lif 2 game is one excellent piece of dynamite.
I need help. I am currently stuck in the Nova Prospekt cells. That is the part where I have to move the 3 guns into position before the baddies come!

I have looked everywhere for secret escapes/force field buttons etc but it appears you have to face up to the onslaught! Do you have to battle out with the baddies first or is there a move that I have obviously missed?

It is getting frustrating (and depressing!) being killed off so many times without beating the dudes!

Can ya'll help me here?

You'll have to kill 'em first.

Isn't that in the "Entanglement" level?

If so, have you tried the strategy in the Entanglement Walkthrough?

It is as follows:

Find the turret compartment in one of the small corridors, and open them up. With these turrets, pick them up, turn them around and place them right back into their compartments. Do this with all three, but make sure to leave one of the middle compartments empty. Once they're all facing outwards in their compartments, get into the free middle one and crouch. The combine will now start to pour into the area, and the turrets can take them out before they reach you (just in case though, have your shotgun ready). If you ever need ammo or health, there are health rechargers in front of you, as well as a heap of dead combine and their dropped ammo. This is going to take a long time, so just sit it out until the combine stop attacking. There may be some manhacks left in the area, so get out of your little hiding place and destroy them. Alyx will now (finally) appear

Or, take the two turrets from the previous encounter along to this fight. Also, block the doors the enemies flood through with the junk you find in the area you jump down from. The combine get stuck, the turrets kill them all quite easy.

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I can't wait to get back into the action now!

Is the original Half Life as good as this one?

Use the boxes to climb up to the balcony, then carry turrets up. Hold one in your gravity gun to act as a gun.

IMO HL2 is better than HL, but that's my opinion...

HL got over 50 game of the year awards and one "Best Game Ever."
It also won a few "Best Games Ever" polls on well known sites such as Gamespy.com.

Buy it now if you don't have it (Buy the Generation pack, contains everything of HL + expansion + CS 1.6 + CS:CZ normally it's called the Generation pack)

Many thanks Beerdude, will look into that!
