To change game modes in CS:GO through the console, you'll need to enable the developer console first. Here's how to do it all step by step:

Enable Developer Console:

1. Launch CS:GO
2. Go to Settings > Game Settings
3. Set "Enable Developer Console" to "Yes"
4. Press the tilde key (~) to open the console

Basic Game Mode Commands:

To change game modes, simply enter these commands in the console:

game_type 0; game_mode 0 - Casual
game_type 0; game_mode 1 - Competitive
game_type 1; game_mode 2 - Demolition
game_type 1; game_mode 1 - Arms Race
game_type 6; game_mode 0 - Deathmatch
game_type 0; game_mode 2 - Wingman

Additional Settings:

To enhance your game mode experience, you can use these optional commands:

mp_warmup_end - Ends warmup period
mp_restartgame 1 - Restarts the current game
bot_kick - Removes all bots
bot_add - Adds a bot to the game
mp_maxrounds [number] - Sets maximum rounds
mp_roundtime [minutes] - Sets round time limit

Practice Mode Setup:

For a complete practice environment, enter these commands in sequence:

sv_cheats 1
mp_limitteams 0
mp_autoteambalance 0
mp_roundtime 60
mp_roundtime_defuse 60
mp_maxmoney 60000
mp_startmoney 60000
mp_freezetime 0
mp_buytime 9999
mp_buy_anywhere 1
sv_infinite_ammo 1

Remember to press Enter after each command. These settings will only work on local servers or if you have admin rights on the server you're playing on.

Quick Tips:

- Use the Up Arrow key to cycle through previous commands
- Commands are not case-sensitive
- Add these commands to an autoexec.cfg file to use them automatically
- Type "clear" to clean up the console
- Use "status" to verify current game settings

These commands work in the latest version of CS:GO and should help you quickly switch between different game modes through the console.
