ACM actually got something of a cult status amongs fans the past 3-4 years.
There are still some people that like playing it online. The guys at the A:CM Bug Hunt Steam group have game sessions religiously every saturday since it's release, the admin have over 2000 hours of gameplay.
So I would say the multiplayer might have a cult status for some people.
To be fair, I always found the multiplayer genuinely entertaining (ignoring the various bugs that never got patched on consoles). It was nice to have an Alien game with more "updated" mechanics. I remember having so much fun on our various game nights.
It was the only game of the franchise that added a lot of customization for the multiplayer, both in apperance and weapons/xeno abilities, there were a lot of ways you could play, this kind of variety helps the player to not get bored. And since I like those things, it did make the multiplayer more enjoyable to me, as I felt those things were missing in the previous games, the customization on AVP2010 kind of disappointed me.
The third person for the aliens was another thing I liked.

ACM is terrible, there's not a redeeming thing about it.
It's a cheap, barely functional, badly written and performed cashgrab.
It's in competition with Requiem for the worst thing to be officially licensed for this franchise.
I mean, this is a franchise that's gotten officially licensed chidren's wristwatches. The rabbit-hole is real, real deep if you go digging.
As for no redeeming qualities, there are certain things I thought were genuinely executed well. I liked the visual design of the levels, I felt the aesthetics fit in well with 'Aliens'. I also liked the weapon selection - they felt like logical extensions of the guns from 'Aliens', and the "corporate" guns were distinct from the "USCM" guns both in form and function. Also pretty much every weapon and attachment was useful in some capacity, as opposed to most Aliens/AvP games where the Pulse Rifle is the best gun in the game. At least A:CM had moments where it was genuinely in your best interest to put the pulse rifle away and break out one of the other guns, rather than switching weapons only when you ran out of PR ammo.

You just can't get over the fact that some people like A:CM can you?
Why is that? Like this unhealthy hatred that always rears it's head as soon as someone says something they like about it. It's like you're afraid of it or something.
I don't know about him, but it scares me to death, and not in a good way.

Writing in video games is generally neither here nor there for me, and while I don't dispute it's always fun shooting Aliens, this was quite possibly the worst written video game I've ever played.
(Also, as an aside, CMTM was published in 1995)

'Cult status' in the same way The Room has 'cult status'.

Surely Turk alone is already enough to bestow cult status?
