I am playing through half life for the first time and every time I get near a turret it activates even when i don't step on the red lasers. This is frustrating because i am at a point in the game where i have to maneuver through red lasers and there is a turret next to me. Every time i try i try and knock over the turret it activates and killls me is it possible to knock over the turret?

You can't knock it over, you have to either sneak by it or destroy it (one well place grenade should take it out.)

Just shoot the dam thing. Some shoot regardless off tripwires of not. If you can get right upto it a crowbar will do the job with no health loss at all, but grenades or double shotgun blasts are the best.

This was a game from before games had physics engines.

Turrets are best taken out with a grenade. There should always be some cover or a place from which you can throw it without being fired upon.

Otherwise you can try to take it out with a powerful weapon (close-range shotgun, magnum, scrossbow, charge-up gauss) before it becomes fully online.

Ironically, the next version of the game had the Physics engine that everyone wanted to rip off ever since.

Havok Physics: being one of the "Cool New Features" of a video game since 2004.

Half Life was one of the first FPS to try to have physics puzzles/encounters.

The other one was Jurassic Park Trespasser...but that game tried to do everything and failed...It failed so bad that everyone forgot that Trespasser was the first FPS to incorporate full physics and give that title to HL2. (Which does it better)
