It seems as though the current build of Halo: Reach has a significant bug. This bug returns a dead player’s screen back to the respawn point, instead of allowing the player time to see if the enemy did any teabagging! Bungie wants to make a point in getting this awesome feature fixed before the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta..
“Title: Teabagging / humiliation moves impossible
Type: Bug
Opened: 3/4/2010 8:53:13 AM
The respawn camera flies back to the spawn location immediately after dying, so your opponents can’t teabag / shoot / melee your body and have a possibility of you seeing it.”
In perhaps more interesting news, Bungie has promised to explain what exactly Headhunter and Invasion modes, teased in the most recent trailer, are in advance of the May 3 beta launch. Stay tuned for the latest.
Today Markus teased, on the Halo Reach Dev Blog, that some juicy multiplayer info will be released in about a day. Some unnamed sources say that Urk has confirmed that the info has been held back to include a podcast with the announcement.

“uh.. you know, i don’t think i’ve seen dual-weilding in the game yet”

“Utility and economy spurred industry amidst these isolated and unforgiving badlands, but like all infrastructure facilities on Reach, this hydroelectric site is under the purview of the UNSC war machine. All threats to the continued, predictable operation of humanity’s final line of defense must be met with swift and decisive force.”

Gamereactor’s Jonas Mäki Has the scoop on Halo: Reach after getting to experience the game first hand. This is one article you’ll not want to pass up. Here is a taste of what Jonas has written about:
“Since then I have had a month to digest and think about my impression from the visit. Halo: Reach will definitely stick out from the rest of the Halo games, since it is guaranteed not to get a sequel and includes more new elements than any other instalment in the series (with the exception of Halo Wars). Halo: Reach is likely to be Bungie’s final farewell to the series, and after it comes out they will look to create new titles in what will most likely original game worlds as the independent developers they have once again become.
A half-assed Halo: Reach would lead to lower expectations on the next game from Bungie, so there is no room for complacency. And Bungie are very proud of everything they have achieved with the Halo series in terms of critical acclaim, awards, sales numbers and perhaps most importantly response from fans. Therefore it is important to go out with a bang, and after my visit I believe that is exactly what they will do.” …
