Well-Rounded News is reporting that Fox Interactive has decided to add an in-game save feature to Aliens vs. Predator. Here's a quote from David Stalker, AvP Producer for Fox:

We have received a lot of feedback from our consumers on both sides of this issue. Some gamers enjoy the suspense and excitement of this game without the option of hitting the save button. On the other hand, we understand the frustration of some players who are used to an "in game save" feature available in this type of game," said David Stalker, Producer, Fox Interactive. "The 'save patch' ultimately takes care of this debate."
