I found it very difficult also. The trick seems to be taking out as many
hunters as you can before working on the striders, since the hunters destroy
the magnessons. You definitely have more than 20 seconds though if you
handle them one at a time. Taking down the hunters is the hardest part; you
can accumulate explosives ahead of time (bring them to the beginning of the
area, the choke point that all striders will have to pass through). You can
also take any hunter out with the alternate fire of the combine pulse rifle
(don't miss! quicksave ahead of time) or a couple rockets. When you run out
of those and explosives, try running them over with your car. When all else
fails use the shotgun.

If you drive around, and you should at first to make use of the items in the
more distant buildings, use the magnesson holder on the back of your car.
Later I found that I spent most of my time at the main entrance so you want
to conserve the items there.

If at any point a strider is getting too close, start using magnessons on it
even if there are still hunters around. If you've taken out enough of the
hunters you can sometimes get the strider anyway.

I wasn't happy with the way they try to humiliate you if you lose.
