The developer of many acclaimed game franchises such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Dota. They are also responsible for the massively successful PC digital distribution service Steam.
Valve is denying being tied to it, saying its just "another fan made movie" but some people think its suspect. A domain Whois was done for the website( www.whatsinthebox.nl) and it seems to be linked to a viral marketing company in the netherlands.
The commenters at 1up are going crazy, some people saying it's just fan made, some people saying its a phone ad, and some people calling it "a teaser for a 7 hour war game". I personally think the special effects are a little too good for it to be "just a fan made movie" and the tie in to the viral marketing company is kinda fishy to me.
It does look a bit too good to be fan made. Closing a street and parking cars all over it, getting a bus to use, ect. That's not to say a fan couldn't do it, special effects are getting easier all the time, but if a fan did go to all that trouble I would think they'd have their name all over it. I know I would if I made it.
