i personally always open the door if i am going to shoot from mid because i HATE that the T's have the ability to shoot from that crack. You are almost required to lose the person you have watching the red room. If there is a CT watching red room then he will be taking fire from two directions 1. being from the T's at the red room stairs and 2. being from the person shooting from under the crack. Now the CT cannot stay where he is or he will die and if he falls back then he has a long run through middle and he more than certain to be killed. Plus as he falls back he has no way to return fire to the T shooting from beneath the door since the door is closed and the T cannot be seen. Its a jerk spot. The people in the CT gargae cannot poke out too much or they to will be shot by the T at the middle door. If the T's were to rush red room, then the CT at middle cannot poke out until the T's are pretty much on top of the B site (cuz if he pokes out then he will be shot by the T at the middle door who he cannot see because the door is closed...). The CT's will be limited in thier setup beacese of a glitch.

If the door remains closed, then the T's have that gap to look into mid. If the bomb is planted between the boxes and the railing on bombsite B, then it is CLEARLY visible form the gap at the middle door. Since teh CT cannot see the T through the gap he cannot return fire in an effective manner. If the CT were to try and open the door and eliminate the T before he defused, he would surely be killed before getting anyware near the door.

All in all, it's mean and unfair and it makes me cry when i get my feet shot by a scout and 40% of my HP is gone.

I vote that the door could be used for recon, but no gunfire from beneath that crack. Thats my two cents, but if it is legal then its legal and i shall simply be more careful.
