Hand cannons cannot counter snipe, but they can engage in what destiny calls a "long range" battle. Imo if they put the bigger crucible maps back into rotation the hand cannon problem wouldn't be as bad

It's a shame that there are only 3 of those maps, being First Light, Bastion and Skyshock, the latter being subject to players not having The Dark Below. Compare that to what I count as 15 small maps and you're only playing on a big map one sixth of the time on average, so the weapons that reign supreme now don't suffer all too much.
