It's funny, though; with this talk about hating characters for being overly sexualised, let's look at Rosemary: the least sexualised and most normal woman in the series, yet she's the one MGS2 character that got more hate than Raiden did (yes, I know it's because of the nagging over Codec, among other things).

On the other hand, The Boss goes extremely light on the fanservice, too, and she's near-universally liked (and the people that dislike her don't do so because or her sexiness or lack thereof).

Except when you can control her breasts with your controller.

MGS has always had sexualised characters. Sniper Wolf was on the low end, but let's not forget watching Meryl in her underwear, and Snake's patented "I knew it was you because of that sweet ass" technique.

I would argue that 2 had the least amount of sexualisation. obviously characters were designed with the intention of being attractive, but that's about it.

The reason we're seeing so much of an uproar about Quiet is context. It was still early days when we first saw her and basically all we knew is that the chick ran around wearing next to nothing and couldn't talk. By the time and sexualisation usually becomes apparent, the game has been released and we know more about the characters.
