A:CM plot surprisingly close to Aliens Colonial Marines Technical Manual (1997)

[Corporal Hicks]

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.
