Here is the table of official game modes and its console commands in [[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]].
 
The game uses the values of <code>game_type</code> and <code>game_mode</code> (and <code>sv_skirmish_id</code>, see below) to determine the gamemode that it loads when a map is loaded with the <code>[[Map (ConCommand)|map]]</code> or <code>[[changelevel]]</code> command. If these values are not set before loading a map, it results in the last gamemode played or <code>casual</code>, in case the game has just been launched, because their initial values are 0 (except they are set via launch options or a .cfg file).
 
So, to launch a map with a desired game mode, you basicly have to set these two values by typing the commands <code>game_type <number></code> and <code>game_mode <number></code> into the console ''before loading'' a map by using the <code>[[Map (ConCommand)|map]] <mapname></code> console command, or ''before changing'' a map by using the <code>[[changelevel]] <mapname></code> console command.
 
{{tip|Set Launch Options can be used, e.g: <code>+game_type <number> +game_mode <number> +map <mapname></code>}}
 
The smarter way is to use the optional gamemode parameter of the <code>map</code> and <code>changelevel</code> command, for example <code>map de_dust2 deathmatch</code> or <code>changelevel myCustomMap coop</code>. If such a gamemode parameter is given and if it is valid, the game will adjust <code>game_type</code> and <code>game_mode</code> for you and launch the map with the associated gamemode.
 
{{note | The information of this table can be found in <code>csgo/gamemodes.txt</code>.}}

There is a third value named <code>sv_skirmish_id</code> that the game will consider when loading a map. If it is set to a value that can be found in the following table, it will load an additional .cfg file associated to the ID, which can be found at <code>csgo/cfg/gamemode_<name>.cfg</code> or <code>csgo/cfg/op08_<name>.cfg</code>. These .cfg files are supposed to be loaded to a specific base gamemode, which the creator mentioned as a comment in the first lines. Anyway, it is possible to use any base gamemode.
 
To play one of the following game modes, hit <code>sv_skirmish_id <number></code> in the console and launch your map with the base gamemode, see above. <br>
For example: To launch ''Stab Stab Zap'' on <code>de_dust2</code>, enter <code>sv_skirmish_id 1</code> and <code>map de_dust2 casual</code>. This is equivalent to the commands <code>sv_skirmish_id 1</code>, <code>game_type 0</code>, <code>game_mode 0</code> and <code>map de_dust2</code>. <br>
To return to a base gamemode, use a skirmish ID that is not on this table (intuitively 0), so the game will not load any additional .cfg files to a gamemode.
 
{{note | There are .cfg files which are not accessible this way. They are mentioned at the end of the following table. They probably were the modes for the skirmish IDs 2, 5 and 9.}}
