Why is Kait such a thoroughly unlikable character?

[Nameless]

First off, what did they do to her face model? It looks way different than Gears 4. It looks man-ish, but also not quite human. She has a strange chin. And her attitude is terrible. It's like they *wanted* you to hate her.

As for her looks, she's related to the Locust, what did you expect?. But what do you mean about her attitude?

She's a ♥♥♥♥.

You know women come in all shapes and sizes right. It's like you are going by the po*n standard. Looks and seems fine to me regardless and her attitude is fine.

Fahz is a ♥♥♥♥. I find Kait's behavior understandable, considering the circumstances, but she didn't say anything that wasn't unwarranted, imo.
Please elaborate on why she's a ♥♥♥♥.

She is because of how "two faced" she is towards JD's order that he gave. I don't want to spoil that for anyone but she has an even bigger secret that she is hiding from the COG possibly endangering all of humanity but JD's order is the thing that is more heinous to everyone for some reason.

Okay, that's reasonable complaint to the story. But just because she kept her secret doesn't mean she can't be angry at JD for keeping his own secret. After all, she's human-ish. As for JD's order being the thing that is more heinous to everyone, that's a flaw of other characters' writing, not Kait's.

Really? She seems to be just as upset as the others are. Del seems to take it the hardest but they all act like he betrayed them to the fullest. Even when he shows up to help they don't want him to and they even have a character who has never met him say "I don't like him.". It is just poor writing and the fact that we don't get to see what actually happened makes it even more strange. A flashback wouldn't kill them to let us also make up our minds.

Either way I think they are all kind of bad if they all know she has this tie to the locust and don't let anyone know it's kind of just bad writing when so many missions seem to depend on secrets and if she has a mind link with the enemy why would they keep letting her in on them? Just seems poorly done. She should have just splintered off from the cog and Del followed her instead of her still being one because she didn't want anyone to get hurt. Just my opinion on how it could have been fixed easily.

I second this.
A personality so thoroughly unlikeable that you come full circle and love it.

"They did mention an over-aggressive macho tool. Did you know that guy?"

"No I didn't- but he sounds like a Top Bloke to be honest."

Gold.

I didn't care for either Kait or Fahz (except in Horde mode), but I didn't like JD or Del either. Really, none of them have the chemistry that the original crew did, but it's weird seeing the old mains all old and grey and still fighting. Which, I kind of get - there weren't exactly a lot of people left after the original trilogy, and veteran soldiers are even rarer. Still, seeing old Cole still whooping it up on the battlefield is like trying to watch Ernie Hudson still Ghostbusting. It's almost kind of sad. And for the record, the old cast doesn't have the same chemistry they had in the original series either - so it's definitely a writing problem.

Not to say that I hate the new characters by any means either... they're just... ok. They're servicable. Adequate. And they could have been so much more.

No one likes Kait Because unlike some female characters She Does NOT feel badass in some way like maybe the Stroud family or Alex Brand

That was done to remove any possible attraction the [male] player could have to the character -- thereby, quashing any semblance of possible lust they may have otherwise been elicited; thus, allowing the game's violence to take centre stage. That is, in order to better inure the players to visceral violence, so as to groom them for future Israel Foreign Legion ("U.S. military") service.

It's like that old adage about a single male being more "wild" or prone to "running off the rails", than a male who has the "feminine influence" tempering (/using up) his testosterone.

And her attitude is terrible. It's like they *wanted* you to hate her.

That's exactly what was intended -- to ferment disgust, frustration and, therefore, anger in the [male] player. See above point👆 for why this is seen as a necessary component to the inculcation underpinning the characters design...
