The grass would be quite easy to do actually, you'd just create a single polygon with the texture on it in Max, then make it double sided and non-collidable. You'd then just copy it where ever you needed it.
If you want to get rid of the white bits, then you need to make an alpha map for the grass. Look at how the background trees for the Timberland map are made, they use exactly the same technique.
If you're planning on using lots of grass, then you would need to have a fade out distance where the grass is no longer visible, or the frame rate would be terrible (I believe BFV uses the same technique, but I'm unsure if Halo is capable of this; you'd need to check the shader in Guerilla).
