Newbie coop question

[Serious]

I never played any halo game so far and just want to ask if anyone could point me how i could play this game together with my brother in coop the best way.
E.g. do i need some of the dlc to be able to play a coop campaign,
or general infos about the non-pvp multiplayer options.

Thanks

each dlc is its own separate game, id recommend getting them all since they are on sale now but either way so long as you both have the same dlc you can play the campaign for that game together.

If you already bought the MCC package you already own everything. The DLC just lets you buy the games individually. The games will not install automatically, and the in game installer is wonky. Go into steam game settings: properties: DLC to select what gets installed.

Specifically for CO-OP player 2 (or whoever is not host) typically gets some lag, so just fair warning.

Halo CE and Halo 2 are only 2 player, the rest are 4 Player Co-Op. There is also the Firefight PvE in Reach and ODST, which are not related to story, and Halo 4 Spartan Ops which is Story focused and meant to come after playing through all the games.

If you are playing through the games for the first time, halo CE and 2 are remasters but you can switch between old and new graphics on the fly, I highly recommend halo CE in original graphics if you can handle the low polly count. Halo 2 remastered was done much better. Either way for both games Easter egg terminal videos were added for the remasters many of which contain spoilers for later in the game and in the series and should be avoided on a first play through.

Thanks for the infos.
That's very good to know and unfortunately not self-explaining with 0 halo experience^^

Also to add only some of the games allow for cross-play in the campaigns so if you are on PC and your brother is xbox it may not work, if one of you has xbox you can do split screen though, and that is fun.
