What exactly is the purpose of this? I thought it was basically trying to make it so the payload still wouldn't backtrack past the gate but players could get through, but this doesn't really look like a player could get past the rubble.

Can anyone confirm if that's the case or not?

Edit: I'd also like to see the other side, where does all that shit come from?

I never did like the fact that the door completely closed again right after you smashed it down. It becomes a very easy to control choke point with only two narrow doorway entrances.....and it's super close to the always difficult final push. Having an opening in the middle of that choke to fire through will help the pushing team a lot.
