In Halo 2 and 3 my friends and i would play a lot together at each others houses. As some might know Halo: Reach pretty much got rid of the feature. So, does anyone know if 4-player Local Matchmaking is going to be in the game?

You mean having 3 guests?
It’ll depend on how strong the graphics engine is.
Reach’s playlists were lowered to 2 local max because the graphics engine overburdened the Xbox 360, and rendering multiple screens at a time magnified that burden. Nearly all built-from-scratch Forge World maps are nearly unplayable in 3- and 4-player splitscreen, and building something that’s playable in 2-player splitscreen requires rigorous testing and careful construction.
If Halo 4 doesn’t overtax the 360’s graphics card as much, then playlists will be more likely to remain at 4 local max.
