Half-Life 2 Hints
Destroy the Turrets Strategy
1 of 7: Get a frag grenade out, send your squad over to the other side of the rotunda, and then quicksave your game.
2 of 7: Go forward just far enough to activate the turrets, then quickly throw a grenade at the turret ahead of you and strafe out of firing range before you get shot.
3 of 7: I specifically mentioned to quicksave because this is kind of hard to pull off. Your grenade often misses its target, sometimes bouncing right back at you!
4 of 7: Keep quickrestoring and trying until you can blow up this turret without anyone getting shot. (If it's too hard, use an SMG grenade instead.)
5 of 7: After that's done, run into the area just past the laser alarms and wait there until the other turret deactivates.
6 of 7: Run around the corner and position yourself near the second turret so you can quickly roll a frag grenade into its floor niche when your squad activates it while coming in after you.
7 of 7: As soon as your grenade's away, switch to the pulse rifle and look down the dark corridor ahead to shoot two Combine soldiers when they appear.
