You'll surely kill (or at least wound) a few enemies, and maybe cause a chain reaction. It's better to lose some good items and don't risk being killed by barrels and a former sarge hiding somewhere in the shadows, than have good stuff and die few seconds later...

Yeah, that makes sense. But I think blowing them too much can possibly destroy too many useful items. Good 'show', though.. heh. As, allways, balance is just the thing that fits everyewhere.

You can just push them away *before* opening the door for most of the time ;). Also - computer maps show you every single item, making you perfectly aware whether or not sticking barrels around a room and detonating them is a safe way to save ammo and health or a waste of few med-packs and power-ups...

Yeah, but walking with barrels around like that is more like inviting death than ignoring them I think. Computer maps are useful but luxury. However, any of these solutions can be used depending on situation I believe.

If all the doors in the room are closed and you've cleared every part of it (or it was initially empty) - it's safe... as safe as it gets ;). It may seem useless at this point but comes in handy if a monster walks in through the door or anything chases you back inside - one less thing to worry about.

Yeah, I think everything that works is good depending on situation you find yourself in.

--------------------------------

As for the little story it was something like that:
100% health, 4 big med-packs, full backpack..
Chaingun D1 and Plasma Rifle S1 loaded, eager and ready.

Looks peaceful.

Former commando inside and another just appeared behind..

I think I move south-east .. and the rest you can see in mortem. The upper commando shots, blows barrel and dies, then other one finishes job. Hah!

You shouldn't have opened the door before AT LEAST pushing that barrel another square to the left, for one thing...
Another thing is making sure is everything in the open area is wiped out (hard to do, as you can't really see everything at once)...
Lastly, what could've helped you here - staying clear of barrels (and that means NOT entering rooms near them) until you splatter everything in all the other rooms.
