Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend?

The best co-op shooter FPS I know of is FEAR 3. The story is pretty bad. There's these two guys, one is named Pointman and he's from COD and the other is named Noodles and he's from Second Sight on PS2. They are scared of their mom, Alman, so they have to break out of jail and find the scientist who held them all hostage. Now that sounds pretty easy, but for some reason The Military and the Demogorgon are really mad at you, and they chase you all 14 blocks through the grocery store and the suburbs to the airport. Its absolutely a blast and both guys have a different move set, as weird as that sounds for co-op FPS.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
Killing Floor
Deep Rock Galactic
The L4D games are immediately what I thought of. Two of the greats, regardless of genre

Ready or Not is pretty cool, it's basically a SWAT simulator. More lore than story though. Don't know about DRM.

Borderlands 2, including all the dlc. Such a great game. Bonus points if you have played borderlands 1, but its not essential.
Borderlands 3 has excellent gameplay but the writing is far, far worse than borderlands 2. They somewhat lost the anti-corpo anti-cap vibes that the series was built on. You can pretty frequently pick up the entire series with all dlc for like... £30 or something with the Pandoras Box bundle.
I had a bunch of fun with Destiny 2 but I can't recommend it in good conscience because of the state of the management of the game.

It Takes Two is adorable. The developers, Hazelight Studios, also made A Way Out. They specialise in co-op and they're working on a new game, Split Fiction. It Takes Two, as of May 29th, is DRM-free on Steam and Steam Deck, and hopefully the new one will follow

Split Fiction came out a few days ago and is excellent. My wife and I are a good way into it already and are enjoying it every bit as much as we enjoyed It Takes Two.

Fyi, afaik Halo MCC supports 2 player coop on Halo: CE, and 4 player coop on the other games. That said, they removed split-screen on the PC version. Supposedly they keep saying they'll add it back eventually but, well, "eventually" has yet to happen.
That said, I think I've read there's a mod for native split screen now so you don't have to do the awkward Nucleus Coop stuff.
Thanks for this. Removing the split screen from the PC version was one of the worst decisions I've seen for a game remake.

If your into realistic FPS games then you want to go with bodycam, 6 days or if you want a solid mix between realistic and not so realistic then Insurgency Sandstorm is good.
But if you want good lore then start with doom and work your way up the series.
