I wouldn't call any of the MGS women awful. Most of them have interesting stories to tell and are supported by quality voice acting. Their designs aren't even the issue, it's really just poor writing. Kojima is bound and determined to write his female characters as love interests. Even when it's completely out of left field, like Meryl and Johnny, or Strangelove and The Boss. That last one was particularly messed up, as the gay Strangelove was fridged by a jealous male, which practically made Huey the biggest villain of the game.

Something tells me Kojima isn't trying to provide fan service, as much as he is catering to his own personal fetishes. It's only gotten worse with motion capture. Mo-cap afforded him the excuse to hire models to wear sexy outfits in front of him, and claim it's for the fans.
