The high school idea is very interesting. I for one frequently dream of stealth-shooting in my school. The layouts of most schools are completely suited to stealth gameplay. Include the hardened war veteran turned teacher? ;P

no highschool's complete without at least one teacher that's a verteran.
My highschool has a 61 (?) year old that is literally going crazy because of his personal life. it's bad...

I had an idea for a good stealthish game. It's like a Red Dawn-ish scenario where a foreign country invades and there's a small resistence. The difference would be that this game would be set at a high school and the students and faculty would be the resisters ambushing soldiers in the hallways. I don't know why the soldiers would be in a high school but the layouts of highschools are so interesting and the gameplay would be so cool I don't think it would matter. Your thoughts?
It could be a decent idea, as long as you come up with a plausible reason why the invaders just don't drop a bomb on the school.

This is already a game.
It's called freedom fighters.

If i was you i would rather make the setting of the game at a university instead of a high school the game would be a lot bigger and more open
that's true. although, the close quarters labarynthian setup of most highschool was sort of what I was thinking of when I pictured the game
U can still have the labarynthain setup, just the area of the game would be bigger.

Uhhhh
Really
Why would we let this happen
Why would I ally with the jack-offs at my school

Great imagination though

this is aan awesome idea. the student character can be recieving instructions via a security walkie from the crazy Nam vet who teaches shop.

I dunno. It's not that it wouldn't work if done right, it's just that I find it hard to sympathize with any sort of "teen rebel", even if I agree with him. Blame on my dislike of teens in general.

it sounds cool but do to things like columbine and virginia tech shootings , this would cause a very bad backlash against video games and vg violence ,as for stealth ... no bulletproof liights and shooting one out would prompt investigation , and hiding the dead would have to be done to hide the smell too ,but i like the idea

I think that'd be pretty cool actually. But there has to be a bonus mode where you sneak up on people with an airhorn. I'd find that fun.
that would be pretty sweet come to think of it

i dont play left for dead because it wants me to help people. zombie apocalypse is my excuse to kill everyone i meet. and of course secuirty walkies would be a bad idea, thats a plot point where the enemy gets wind of the vet and kills him. thats the end of the tutorial, and now you have to play on your own. come on man, keep up

*Makes a mental note not to hide near 8-bit Jack in the event of a zombie apocalypse.*

I think the concept in general is good, but, the deranged bleating of the uninformed would kill this project. Though, if the invading army was using the Highschool as a command center and the game itself wandered throughout the town, then you might actually get away with it.

Ideas for the enemy groups:

Terrorists (although this is rather prevalent nowadays)
School gunmen (the "He was always so quiet..." kind of gunmen)
Religious wackjobs (may be similar to Terrorists)
Goverment Agency (maybe a proffesor was running a secret project or something? Actually I like that idea. That could be expanded really well, although you would have to try not to copy Back to the Future with the whole, "I stole the materials and built my own thing!" kind of idea...)

And ya, lockers, bathroom stalls, outside portable classrooms (my school has classroom outside that are essentially re-fitted cargo train freight containers with windows and furnishings. They aren't made from freight containers, but that's the closest thing I can think of to compare them to something that people would get) would all make for good hiding places.

Although where to get weapons in a school would be a problem to figure out... Obviously you could steal weapons from the enemies, but where to get your initial weapons would be problematic. Probably shop class, grab a big wrench or a screwdriver. Maybe a hacksaw...

You could have the main character was out for a run with his/her gym class and as such was not contained with the rest of the school.

I can really see how this would work actually. It would certainly be different from most of the games out in the market right now.

And if you read all of that, thank you very much!

Would the bosses have metal gear-esque powers and names like Insectoid Sniper for a Hall moniter that fight like Speed Buster from No More Heroes. The insectoid part comes from the fact that the hall moniter was nerd about bugs. The lunch lady Could be Tray Play because she wears lunch tray armor and wields giant tongs to grab you and throw you around. You have to kill her in a chase sequence ( like the Shagohod) and make her trip into the boiler. She escapes but loses her armor than you fight her.
your not fighting other students...
Someone mentioned brain washing so there's my excuse.
