mechas and walkers - doom-bringers or death-traps?

If there is not enough armor on that thing, then it isn´t really suitable for CQB. So it doesn´t really make sense any more

In videogames they have robots running and jumping and doing all kinds of complicated interactions with their non-uniform surroundings. In real life, the cutting edge of robot technology in terms of viewing its surroundings and walking on an uneven surface is a robot that can negotiate stairs under some very limited test circumstances at a very slow pace.

Go on youtube and type "Big Dog Robot"

It is incredible what they've managed to do.

I've seen it. When it's just walking around without a care in the world, it's pretty good. When it's planning a path, it's very, very slow.

I don't see the use of huge mechs,they're clumsy and slow besides it screams "target me" all over.

Instead an small mech like 3 meters could be usefull in supporting infantry and to carry the heavy guns in a squad.Like the REV6 in Fear http://fear.wikia.com/wiki/Replica_REV6_Powered_Armor
