Can't get past Command Security Post (Cellblock D8)

[krmeyer]

I need help getting past the Command Security Post... the part where
the soldiers come at you from all sides, and you need to hold out for 6
minutes using the sentry guns. I know how I'm SUPPOSED to do it,
setting up the guns at the right angles to cover the entrances, but I
still can't make it through. It's really frustrating... I want to keep
playing! Any tricks to getting past this?

Thanks,
Keith

I first tried to set the tripods in the room where they are stocked...

Bad idea : as Combine arrive from both ways with lots of grenades, I managed
to survive only in easy.

Actually setting the three tripods in a cell was working perfectly. Using
the GravGun to pick any incoming grenade, the "use" button to set any fallen
tripod back and quick saving between two rushes, I passed that section
without loosing any life/armor point.

Cool... the three tripods in a cell did the trick. Thank you very much!
