Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me if useing my Maya 4.0 for HW2 modding. Because I don't want to have to buy Maya 3.0 now :)

no. Plugins aren't multi version compatible. Scripts often are, but not plugins. Hopefully Relic will release the uncompiled plugin, so it can be developed for multiple versions, possibly backwards engineered for other software.

The most recent version is Maya 5.0. It has a personal learning edition available for free.
I dunno about the plugins. In 3DS Max you can use plugins that were developed for R4 for R5 too...
