I'm sure we all agree that the hardest part in the Entanglement chapter was the "stand-off" where you were given three turret guns and four directions to guard. The soldiers threw grenades at your turrets, there seemed to be hundreds of soldiers, and on top of that you had to fight off manhacks.
While playing the game on Hard my second time through (I didn't want to turn the difficulty down if I got stuck) I found a trick to make this part easier. In the control room where you find out Mossman is a traitor you are given two turret guns to fend off the oncoming soldiers. Luckily there you only have two directions to defend.
The trick is to take both turrets you get in that control room to the "stand-off" room. It's not easy because you have a few stair wells, an electrified/flooded room, and some twisty, zombie-filled hallways to navigate. The stairs aren't difficult if you keep your view tilted up so the turrets don't drag. In the flooded room simply use the gravity gun to throw them as far as you can, pick them up later, and throw them the rest of the way. Don't worry, they still work if they've been in the water.
The turrets can be usefull on your way. Use them to peek around corners and to clear rooms of zombies and head crabs. Once you get them to the "stand-off" room you will have plenty of turrets to help.
Still this doesn't mean you can just sit back and watch. I recommend setting four turrets up in the obvious four corners positions. Keep them far enough apart so that one grenade won't take out two turrets but try to keep them close enough to the windows so you can easily see if one is down.
If you brought the fifth turret I recommend setting it in the corner under the 2nd floor walkway pointing into the room. If you put this one here it is safe from grenades, covers you if you have to set a turret up, and will shoot down any manhacks that are in your room. I hope this helps you out!
