I am fairly sure it is linked to how well you are performing. If you are doing well, the AI director will send you the long way, if you aren't doing as good, they will send you the short way.

Not quite sure how it works out how well one team is doing vs another..

I never really noticed any other routs when I played, but I guess I have not played the mapes enough

Even if that were true, what does the director deem 'doing well' as opposed to 'doing poorly'? Most of the time my teammates and I reach the glass window area with 4 medkits and above 60 HP on normal. I can't remember the circumstances where I was given the door alarm since it was only one time and I didn't realize it was a different section until this post, actually.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure it has to do with another factor than perceived difficulty from the director.

It may also have to do with player "intensity." Essentially, multiple things contribute to increasing a player's intensity: getting hit, fighting a Tank, fighting a mob, etc. If you have a high intensity as you approach the trigger for the director to decide where to send you, it could take your intensity into account and give you the easier route if it's too high.

Or it could just be random. :P
