Aside from the abominable sin that was moving from mac to xbox-first, was there any push-back from the community on Halo when it was released, from a purely gameplay/story/presentation perspective? Any sentiment that it was somehow a lesser game than Myth or Marathon?

Yes.

Particularly the story. I recall numerous complaints that it was simplified and not as deep as that of Marathon. Sure there was some great discussion, but overall the sentiment from many was that the narrative was simplified.
