info_player_coop - Point Entity

Sets spawn points for co-operative multiplayer maps.

Attributes

Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer corresponds to Yaw. The settings are not always (or not all) used.

Flags

Not in Deathmatch (2048) - If ticked, this entity will not spawn in multiplayer.

Notes

Try to place near the ground, as the player will drop from the entity origin to the floor. Also, make sure the info_player_coop is clear of any obstacles, or the player may be stuck at the start.
For multiplayer games/maps, if there is no info_player_coop, then info_player_start entities are used as "backup" solution for respawning players. It's a bad practice to rely on that "backup" behavior and it's a good practice to place the required amount of spawns needed for the game/mod you're mapping for (usually 32).
In Half-Life, this entity can act as the (re)spawning location in "free look spectating" mode unless the map has a trigger_camera, info_player_start or info_player_deathmatch entity.

What the hell is this even used for anyway?

I've never seen it used ever.

And even tough it's used in Deathmatch maps, it have a "Not in Deathmatch" flag? That's the most logical coding Valve have ever done.

Every entity has the "Not in Deathmatch" flag, even info_player_deathmatch. Not every FGD has it for every entity, but you can still set the flag and the game engine will remove the entity from multiplayer games.

Half-Life was mented to be multiplayer, but it went unused. In the Combine OverWiki page you can find more information about this.
