To load a CS:GO map in a specific gamemode using the console, I'll guide you through the simple steps you need to follow.

First, open CS:GO and access the developer console by pressing the

~

key (typically located below the Esc key). If your console doesn't open, you'll need to enable it in game settings under "Game Settings > Enable Developer Console" and set it to "Yes."

Here are the basic commands to load maps in different gamemodes:

For Casual:
map [mapname] gamemode 0

For Competitive:
map [mapname] gamemode 1

For Wingman:
map [mapname] gamemode 2

For Deathmatch:
map [mapname] gamemode 1; game_type 1

To use these commands, replace [mapname] with the actual map name. For example:

map de_dust2 gamemode 1 (loads Dust 2 in competitive mode)
map de_mirage gamemode 0 (loads Mirage in casual mode)

Common map names you can use:

de_dust2
de_mirage
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_overpass
de_vertigo
de_ancient

If you want to practice alone, add these commands after the map command:

bot_kick (removes all bots)
mp_warmup_end (ends warmup)
sv_cheats 1 (enables cheats for practice purposes)

Pro tip: You can create an autoexec config file with your preferred settings and execute it using:

exec autoexec.cfg

Remember that some gamemodes might require additional commands for the full experience. For example, to set up a proper practice session, you might want to add:

mp_roundtime 60
mp_roundtime_defuse 60
sv_infinite_ammo 1
mp_buy_anywhere 1

These commands will give you more time per round and unlimited ammunition for practice purposes.

That's all you need to know to load any CS:GO map in your preferred gamemode through the console. Make sure to press Enter after typing each command for it to take effect.
