Halo's definitely different.
Non-videogame sports have one VERY important thing that Halo doesn't have: referees. Halo's 'rules' have to be built into the engine, in advance, which means that the designers have to predict every possible 'exploit' ahead of time, and proactively counteract it. If they miss any, they have to patch the app, at an extremely high cost (Microsoft HATES to patch console apps, for a lot of reasons - one major one is that 75% of players don't use the system they use for these patches).
