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.
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.

Halo 1, 2, 3 & Reach
Borderlands Borderlands 2
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.
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.

Left 4 Dead 2 has a split-screen mod.
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

Already played 500h+ of DRG with close friends that don’t live close by.
Great game to have fun, talk, but also challenging if you want it to be.
Can’t recommend it enough!
ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK & STONE, BROTHER!

Oh gears, amazing co-op! Great cover system and a chainsaw on a gun. Phenomenal!
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)
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?
A Way Out is an interesting one. Very story driven with some FPS stuff near the end.
