Well I don't know about other games but for Halo, which is what is used to film Red vs Blue, you press a button combo on the controller to lower your characters weapon so they can act normally when not in a fight scene.

Before that though you need to customise your character/characters in the customisation menu. Change armour parts/colours/gender. The only problem is to get the good armour you have to work for it. Earn Achievements or just play the game long enough to unlock the armour.

Then you need to just body act the characters. Walk around whatever map you've chosen to film on. Bob their heads for talking scenes if you like. Make sure to have atleast on person be the 'camera'. Basically have them out of sight of where your people you would like to films are but close enough so the camera person can watch them. To make sure everything plays out right.

Then quit your game session and go to theater mode, save the file of the map you just played on then watch it. Whilst in theater mode on the file you've selected you can watch everything you've just done. You can also fly around the map to get the angles you want for the shot. once you're happy with what you've got, rewind it and hit the record button whilst in theater mode. The game will record untill you stop it. There you go, there's your shot/multiple scenes.

After that you'll just need some good capture software on your computer so you can import what you recorded. You'll then need to add sounds to your video once it's on the computer and you'll ned a decent microphone for voiceacting. Patch everything togeather and there you go, you've got a video using Halo, just like REd vs Blue.

When it comes to other games I have no idea. I would assume it would be similar to Halo but with some things being diffrent.

I know not really helpfull for you 'cause you wanted a game besides Halo but since that's all I know I thought that it might serve some purpous.
