My favorite of all Bungie games is definately Myth TFL. It fealt like I was in charge of this elite team of hardasses, planning out tactical missions against the enemy. Myth2 fealt more like I was a part of some grand narrative, following someone elses story. But, although Myth is my favorite, I did not vote for it.
An FPS will always have a more immersive plot than a RTS. In a First Person Shooter you are in the place of the character. You see what he sees, you learn what he learns, you experience the world as though you were there. In an RTS there is a sense of detachement; you are viewing the world from a third person perspective, and thusly it is more difficult to become emotionally involved in the story.
So I voted for Marathon. I've only played Infinity, and I must say, it has a fantastically greater story than Halo. Not just the story, but the way it is presented. I mean, the first level is a Prologue! What kind of game has a prologue? One that is designed to tell an amazing and complicated and compelling story.
