Some things to know about modding H2V

There's currently no program out right now allowing you to mess around with tags ie. run fast jump high, shader swaps, etc... so no modding H2V. All you can do right now is create your own maps providing you have 3ds max and even then if you have 3ds max 9 there is no exporter which you need so stick with 3ds max 8 until someone makes one.

Update there is now an exporter: .*** exporter for 3ds max 9

Gay! Wait is creating your own map like you start with a 3D grid? Or like you start with a preset land?

making your own maps = using a very expensive 3d modelling program to create the map from ground up. So basicly you have to be pretty good at 3d modelling if you want to make something good.

I'm sure it's not as hard as you think. Honestly... Source SDK > mostly anything out currently. Also 3ds max you can find tuts easily. So just site for a few hour and you'll get it.

A lot of people wouldn't pay for it. Many people get it illegal and semi legal ways. I'm not going to say how I... I mean they would do it, but there are ways. Don't do any of them. Buy it if you want it. (all said cuz a fed makes me say it as he stands WAY too close)

Spoil all the fun of it why don't you. Just one more thing to turn n00bs into 1337s. Soon it will be Night of the Living n00bs. We won't know who is a n00b and who is 1337! I'll have to kill some of my 1337 friends who might be n00bs in disguise!

Not even close. With farcry you are given a set list of objects you can add to a pre defined map or something like that... I think.... With H2V you are modelling the map from ground up.
