Perkam, Mechwarrior/Battletech has always had urban combat, the Succession Wars completely decimated many cities because of mech battles. The Atlas shown in the video is one of the biggest and heaviest assault mechs (100 tons, 16metres) so yes buildings and objects can easily tower over it.
Don't know if you played Mechwarrior 2 and 4 but there were many urban environments, Mechwarrior 3 was different because the main in-game objectives didn't bring it near urban enivornments.
Perhaps, but some people here are enthusiastic about the game just because there IS a game.

After watching the trailer, and considering what it will be competing with in 2009 or 2010 when it launches, the trailer was VERY underwhelming.

The voice acting, the action (far too little space to move around) and weapon systems (especially on the second enemy Mech) looked hastily done with little attention to detail.

And WTF is with the pirate mask on the second Mech? Did they give this game to an indie studio or something?
