Could Powerhouse be connected to Hydro?

[portal bump]

I know you might leave instantly, but still, I have proof that these 2 maps may be connected.
First of all.
In Powerhouse, there is a section behind the fence in the mid point where an area looks like Hydro.
Proof?

As you see there, that substation or electrical thing whatever.
Appers to be a prop from Hydro.
Proof?

The building in the background even seems similar to Hydro buildings, and even the Powerhouse buidlings seem similar to Hydro.
And remember, CP_Powerhouse is a VALVE made map, not a community made. Which is intresting.

Both maps are hydro-electric power stations, anyone could induce that from simply looking at the two maps.

Also Powerhouse is a small 3CP map, so it wouldn't surprise me this is a rework of Hydro.

yea its true, I've always noticed how similar the maps look and it really surprises me, and yea, it could be a rework of Hydro, then again, that area does actually seem familier to a certain part of Hydro.

Tons of Hydro's props are reused. This makes sense since this is another hydroelectric station. Most maps which share the same theme tend to reuse the same props.

Whether or not the two maps are actually connected in lore is debateable, though.

Even if it's true this will not revive Hydro and make it popular again. Which makes me sad.

Who knows, maybe this is a hint towards a future update that revives Hydro?

I don't think it's supported on valve servers. Like there's no way to even vote for it to go to that map. All they need to do is add that vote on CP maps and it's golden. It might not be played 24/7 but god dang it will get played much more than now which is never.

yea unfortnuatly, valve stopped supporting the map which could've caused it to lose popularity, and its actually a great map too!

no... something Bigger... something you guys can't see...
story is: fellow mercs left due to a massive attack... not robots... not zombies...
ALIENS! In the powerhouse map there are several items that PROVE THIS TRUE
Powerhouse is nothing but a safehouse or an untouched area by the aliens...
The mercs have been studying the old Hydro to learn more about these creatures...

Believe me or not... I am right... I am always right...

There's some alien stuff in powerhouse, to do with asteroid and doomsday maps tho :D

They have been proven to be connected. There is an unused part of Powerhouse, still, on the map, that has a waterfall, which can not be seen unless you no-clip to it; this is supposed to be the back of hydro, at the end of the map. The alien stuff is things that were originally for the asteroid map, and they put it on other maps for the invasion update.
