Screaming Steel: 1914-1918 is a modification for Day of Infamy and is an online tactical shooter themed on the First World War with relatively realistic conditions. It is an updated version of the WW1 Source of Half-Life 2 which has its origin in The Trenches mod of the first game. In December 2016, the change of the modification's name to Screaming Steel: 1914-1918 was announced. The main reason given for this was the departure from its status as a pure Half-Life 2 modification, as Screaming Steel, for technical reasons, turned more towards the Day of Infamy modification, also created with the Source Engine, as it uses a more modern and user-friendly variant of the engine. The core elements and mechanics of Day of Infamy are retained for the most part.
The mod received on July 19, 2021, with the "Endgame Update" new weapons, maps, and units for both the Commonwealth and German Empire.
