Question for anybody else running more than one monitor...
Normally when I run a game... I can still see my desktop on my other 2 monitors, but with AvP, my other two screens go blank.
Anybody else getting this or is it just me???

I think there's unlimited ammo for the pistol regardless of difficulty.
You dont stand and fight at that part, you simply run towards the lift and doing a quick turn to use the rifle grenade on the aliens in the tunnel behind you. Basically, listen to what tequila tells you to do lol.
As for the predator, the plasma caster isn't that great and its only got highly specific uses in single player. The only bit I can think of early on where you get a lot of aliens in a room with you is where you need to dowse the fire in the corridor and thats where the plasma caster comes in handy
Was it? I played a load of demo games as Alien and won each one, if anything it was more getting used to how you play them than anything else.
I have two monitors and it runs without issue here. The game on the main screen, the second screen showing whatever apps I have on it (usually task manager when playing a game, so I can see what cpus it's using)
MeMeMeMe... thats how I want mine 
, just tried left 4 dead, in case it was something in the latest NV drivers, but it works fine, can still see my apps on the other monitors, so its just AvP that does it???
I have also noticed, that when I run the game, after a minute or so, it will drop to desktop and there is a screen saying that the system is running slow and do i want to turn off visual settings etc... every time i say no and remember.... but every time it does it again??? anyone else or is my pc going nutts!!!

I have had both those issues. Only once each though.
My second monitor now seems to be staying on when I'm playing the game. Not sure what exactly I changed though. I have been jumping from dx9 to dx11 a lot and changing settings to get the game to run well.
I also got the system running slow message but clicked 'don't show this again' and it hasn't come back.

Try verifying your files over steam. Very high textures and high AA might exceed the VRAM space on your card. Make sure your sound card is set not to exceed 48Khz.
Another bug...
Apart from the fact you don't seem able to run more than one campaign at a time, I restarted Marine missions earlier on today and went through several Checkpoints, however on going to resume this evening it is loading a saved Predator campaign from yesterday. So 30 mins of battling through the marine section is lost...
What a crock of poo.

Hmmm...I jump from marine to pred to alien to marine at whim, depending on which bit I feel like next!

Thats what the save last checkpoint feature is for in the options menu you can then run all 3 campaigns at different times if u wish the game don't auto save you have to manually select to save last checkpoint i have finished marines and am now doing the pred and alien missions
hope this helps you solve your problem
What I don't get is and this is going from other peoples reactions;
Combined, all of the single player campaigns equate to approx 8 hours gameplay. Now correct me if im wrong, this seems to be the average duration for any recent FPS game release.
Secondly, Rebellion are offering an epic on-line experience. Granted servers aren't on-line yet but in time im sure there will be thousands.
I think people are expecting to much ?

i thought this aswell i think people were expecting everything perfect with patches and dedi's this could become an all time great
IMO both crysis and warhead were much shorter than AVP
If I was being really finicky I could say that the only actual content is the length of the marine campaign as they Predator and Aliens just move through the same levels just with different spawned enemies.
