Combat walkers too many parts. BUT they would be useful in hilly terrain, urban warfare where attackers are at rooftop level and simple intimidation factor. I would figure people would be more afraid of a big tall thing than a big wide thing.

Developing walkers are a secondary concern compared to Death Rays and giant human shaped robots.
