Right, Nova Prospekt.
You have to set up 3 turrets and fight off wave after wave after wave of soldiers.

How the #@*& do you right the turrets when they invariably get blown up by grenades/soldiers hitting them/whirly blades and fall to the floor????

I get "Set up your turrets", run to a fallen one only to either grab it with Use-key and frantically try to whirl round in circle until it somehow sometimes magically rights itself, or use the grav-gun which seems to only pick it up on it's side and set it back down on it's side.
All the while I'm getting blown up/shot/sliced.
Getting very very angry with throwing myself at this section now time after time trying to get those turrets to stand back up in the few mini-seconds you get before more death reigns.

And it's a simple question, it doesn't need to usual SR smugtwat reply of "Well I did it 1st time", that only marks you as a tool and a virgin geek.

Yup, just after the control room with the 2 turrets and the videoscreen plot-twist.
You get 3 turrets, endless waves of soldiers and spinny disc things, grenades etc etc.
If the grenades don't topple the turrets, then soldiers punching them will, or the spinny blades.

And once they go down, it's nigh impossible to get them upright again before you get swarmed.

I don't think you can. Once they topple, you can hear then wind down and deactivate.

Is this the section just after the control room (with the two turrets that you set up on the top of the stairs)?

I turned off just before, and have it to look forward to tonight if this is the case.
