'''Halo 4: King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew''' was a location-based augmented reality game on iOS and Android devices made by Kung Fu factory and Ogmento.{{Ref/Reuse|Dev}} It was released on October 31, 2012.{{Ref/Reuse|release}} The name references [[Mountain Dew Game Fuel]], a cross-promotional beverage sold at the time the application was made available. The game was met with negative critical reception.{{Ref/Site|Id=Eurogamer|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-11-01-halo-4-king-of-the-hill-fueled-by-mountain-dew-is-an-actual-app|Site=Eurogamer|Page=Halo 4: King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew is an actual app}}{{Ref/Site|Id=GameRant|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://gamerant.com/halo-4-king-of-the-hill-fuled-by-mountain-dew-ios/|Site=Game Rant|Page=Opinion: ‘Halo 4′ Deserves Better Than ‘King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew’}}

==Gameplay==
The game plays a version of King of the Hill where the hills are 7-Eleven stores. Players could attempt to defeat players holding the hills to take their place. Players could earn several rewards in the game that would benefit them in Halo 4.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZMtsMLtM6c '''Youtube''' ''- Halo: King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew - Walkthrough'']</ref> The app required the purchase of ''[[Halo 4]]''-branded [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] bottles or [[Wikipedia:Doritos|Doritos]] packets, in order to obtain codes which the user would then scan into the app. Doing this increases the player's standing at their particular [[Wikipedia:7-Eleven|7-Eleven store]]. If the player manages to top the leaderboards, and become 'King of the Hill', then they are eligible for certain in-game rewards in ''[[Halo 4]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Eurogamer}} Gold variants of some of the weapons in the game were available.{{Ref/Site|Id=Trailer|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8BynT2-Mc|Site=YouTube|Section=Ogmento|Page=Halo 4: King of the Hill - Official Trailer}}

==Release and reception==
''Halo 4: King of the Hill'' was first released to consumers on [[2012|October 31st, 2012]].{{Ref/Reuse|release}}

The game was received poorly by critics. [[Wikipedia:Eurogamer|Eurogamer]] viewed the app as a shameless marketing promotion, and cash-grab.{{Ref/Reuse|Eurogamer}} One writer at [[Wikipedia:Game Rant|Game Rant]] said that the ''[[Halo (disambiguation)|Halo]]'' brand name deserved better, and that the app was "an unsightly, if inconsequential, blemish" on an otherwise perfect record.{{Ref/Reuse|GameRant}} Nevertheless, the head of Ogmento spoke out to defend the game, citing that it was played by many and had attracted people to both [[Wikipedia:7-Eleven|7-Eleven]] stores, and ''[[Halo 4]]'' itself.{{Ref/Site|Id=Forbes|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.forbes.com/sites/johngaudiosi/2012/11/28/ogmento-president-brian-selzer-explains-why-halo-4-king-of-the-hill-is-a-success/|Site=Forbes|Page=Ogmento President Brian Selzer Explains Why Halo 4 King Of The Hill Is A Success}}

Shortly after release, the developers discovered that some players were intentionally manipulating their phones' GPS locations in order to exploit the game. Consequently, on November 12, 2012, they issued blocks to a number of players suspected to have been doing so.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://twitter.com/Halo4KingofHill/status/268107692697079808|Site=Twitter|Page=Halo 4: King of the Hill|Quote=**Attention All Spartans: A Message from UNSC ONI** We have identified a number of Spartans making unauthorized (cont)}} The game experienced server issues on December 5, but they were promptly resolved the following day.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://twitter.com/Halo4KingofHill/status/276767367361593344|Site=Twitter|Page=Halo 4: King of the Hill|Quote=Attn Spartans- UNSC servers were scrambled by Covenant forces last night.

==Production notes==
When it was first released on [[Wikipedia:iOS|iOS]], the word 'Fueled' in the title was misspelt as 'Fuled'.{{Ref/Reuse|Eurogamer}}

The ''Halo 4'' logo used at the end of the trailer is a fan-made ''Halo'' font, despite the fact the official logo was used at the start of the video.{{Ref/Reuse|Trailer}}
