Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I'm not going to play DRM-controlled games

Halo 1, 2, 3 & Reach
-
Borderlands Borderlands 2
- all the DLC's.
Then if you're still interested, Borderlands Pre-sequel
And if you find yourself really into the series, Borderlands 3
-
I've had a lot of fun with Roboquest.
Sanctum 1 & 2 are fun fps mixed with tower defence.
Deep Rock Galactic is fantastic, like others have mentioned.
-
Ghost Recon Wildlands is one of the best. Not sure about the DRM situation.
-
Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper 5 different PC within a day machine activation limit
Requires 3rd-Party Account: Ubisoft Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account) Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands EULA
From the steam page

Does portal 2 coop count? Technically it's a FPS
-
Suggestions for local couch coop anyone?
-
Phogs!!!
-
-
If you want no DRM, you are basically only going to get your games from GOG.
-
I also reccomend deep rock galactic, the devs are very involved in the community. The community is (mostly) amazing. There isn't much story and it is completely hidden in the in game encyclopedia and the wiki. No drm (apart from steam) and lots of content and depth that keeps you hooked once you make it to your first promotion.
-
Left 4 Dead 2 has a split-screen mod.
-
Vermintide 2.
Deep Rock Galactic.
FarCry (I think all of them? It's been forever since I played 1-3 tho; the newest ones all have co-op)
-
Halo is my top pick, the first three have great stories and couch co-op if you need that, and if you get the master chief collection (halo mcc), the multiplayer is great and you can find tons of forge mode maps created by people, from race modes to mini golf haha
Gears of war is also fantastic, epic story, fun gameplay, and who doesn't love a chainsaw bayonet lol
Deep rock galactic is another really fun one, I can't say there's too deep of a story too it, but it's endlessly repayable with all the combinations of weapons and procedurally generated missions.
-
Oh gears, amazing co-op! Great cover system and a chainsaw on a gun. Phenomenal!
-
-
Call of Duty 3, World at War, Black Ops 1, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops 3 all have local split screen Co-op as an option
-
Helldivers 2 is fantastic fun and I still play it weekly, even though I'm max level with everything unlocked.
-
Technically not a FPS though
-
And has mandatory online anyway, so that would be DRM.
-
True, but you can go first person for ADS.
-
-
-
Halo 1 and 2
-
But not 3, Reach or ODST?
-
-
Remnant 2, it's third person but it's one of my favorite games ever.
-
How does it compare to the first?
-
I played about 15 hours with a friend and honestly found it to be a very annoying experience
The combat never felt satisfying, and reminded me a little too much of destiny 2. By this I mean that all the shots from your guns sounded and felt like you were roughly sneezing on the enemies, and the ui felt too "clean" for what was supposed to be a more gritty game
The layouts of the dungeons felt nonsensical, such as in that one British town setting, or absolutely mind numbingly boring, such as in the futuristic open desert one
After my time playing, it felt like I was making no story progress (besides the characters sometimes saying "wow where's that one character we saw for all of ten minutes"), and it was never clear how I was supposed to progress. This is in stark contrast to dark souls, where this is an intended and relishable experience

When I was a kid I had a blast playing Time Splitters: Future Perfect on my friend’s PS2. Such a fun game, with a great co-op story mode.
-
It’s got to be one of the best co-op games ever made IMO. Also a ton of fun to be had with the arcade modes.
-
-
If you know how to sail the high seas and emulate things, Halo coop is easily my fave.
-
Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It's missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.
-
There's technically a reason.
The OG Xbox version made by Bungie was ported to PC by Gearbox back in the day, and the port made some changes to the game in the process. More visual than gameplay oriented changes, but purists will say they ruined the game. The Gearbox port is what they built Halo Anniversary (the Xbox 360 remaster) and the TMMC version off of.
-
True, I forgot that I bought that myself. My mind went to XBox emulation because I’ve been messing around with it. It’d be interesting to hear a comparison between what runs smoother: Halo 1-4 emulated or through the MCC.
-
-
+1 for halo.
-
-
A Way Out is an interesting one. Very story driven with some FPS stuff near the end.
-
- Shadow Warrior 2 (avalaible on GOG)
- Half-Life 2 has a mod for campaign coop (Synergy if I recall correctly)
- Lots of zombie games : Left4dead 2, Killing Floor 2, ...
- Borderlands
First Person but not totally shooter :
- Dying Light / Dead Island
- Vermintide / Darktide
-
Seconding Dying Light 1 and Borderlands 2. Excellent games! If you're open to 3rd person, Helldivers 2 and The Division 2. No idea about DRM, though.
-
Helldivers and Division are definitely DRM.
-
-
What do you mean by DRM here? Are you saying you need to be able to pirate it?
-
No, lol. I really dislike this mentality people have that wanting no DRM = "Pirate! Burn her at the stakes!". DRM, first of all, makes games [defective by design] (https://www.defectivebydesign.org/). It's an anti-feature which literally only harms those who pay, because pirates will always find a way around it. Additionally, DRM causes some more-than-noticeable performance issues. I can't support a publisher who makes games with this thing they implement just to fuck us over some more.

You didn't even contribute a game which is why you were downvoted. You were edgy for just being edgy
