To change the gamemode in CS:GO through the console, you'll need to follow these simple steps. I'll show you the exact commands and process to switch between different game modes quickly.

First, make sure you have the console enabled in CS:GO. To enable it:

1. Go to Game Settings
2. Find "Enable Developer Console"
3. Set it to "Yes"
4. Use the ~ key (tilde) to open the console in-game

Here are the main gamemode commands you can use in the console:

game_type 0; game_mode 0 - Casual Classic
game_type 0; game_mode 1 - Competitive Classic
game_type 1; game_mode 0 - Arms Race
game_type 1; game_mode 1 - Demolition
game_type 1; game_mode 2 - Deathmatch
game_type 6; game_mode 0 - Danger Zone

To change the gamemode:

1. Open the console using the ~ key
2. Type the command for your desired gamemode
3. Press Enter to execute the command
4. Type "map_restart" or change the map to apply the new gamemode

For private servers or practice sessions, you might want to add these additional commands:

sv_cheats 1 - Enables cheat commands
mp_warmup_end - Skips warmup period
mp_restartgame 1 - Restarts the current game

Quick Tip: You can create config files with these commands to switch gamemodes faster. Save them in your CS:GO cfg folder and execute them using "exec filename.cfg" in the console.

Remember that some gamemode changes might require you to be the server host or have appropriate permissions. In official valve servers, you won't be able to change gamemodes through console commands.

For practice sessions, I recommend combining gamemode commands with other useful settings like:

bot_kick - Removes all bots
mp_maxrounds 30 - Sets maximum rounds
mp_roundtime 60 - Sets round time limit
mp_limitteams 0 - Removes team limit restrictions

These commands will help you create the perfect environment for whatever gamemode you choose to play in CS:GO.
