info_player_start is a point entity available in all GoldSrc games. An info_player_start is used to define where the player will spawn in a map in single player. Only one info_player_start can be used in a level. If more than one exists, the one placed first will be used. Unlike most point entities used for spawning, the info_player_start is not affected by gravity, meaning if the entity is placed mid-air in the editor it will be placed mid-air in the map, resulting in the player spawning and falling from it.

In when deathmatch is set to 1, this is a counter-terrorist spawn point, equivalent to later games' info_player_counterterrorist.
