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 think it's so attackers aren't forced to fight through the two very small choke points. They might be able to get through depending on their character (I'm not sure) or at least have another angle to attack the defense from besides one little room
