Yeah, even if he survived, their actual characters were still too different to really say they were the same guy. So I dunno why everyone else kept saying they were. He doesn't actually *act* like Maine, except for mostly being quiet and having a lot of fighting prowess. But even then, Maine was always more of a brawler, and preferred getting up close and personal in a fight rather than sneaking around with guns. Oh yeah, and Maine would've killed the Reds and Blues the first chance he got. But he didn't.

Though I don't see it as a good plot twist either because he could only have poor motivation, if any, and wouldn't really contribute anything to the story. Just a bunch of stupid, flashy CGI fights. And then he dies.
