its not the weapons, its the maps. The maps cater to close/mid range combat and there are 3 weapons that cater to close/mid range combat: shotgun, fusion rifle and AR.
Even with the new release of maps two will be close/mid range. Bungie is encouraging the use of these weapons heavily based on the maps they have created and people are responding.
You also need to account for the heap tons of lag that are present in PvP making you not as good as you think.

Yeah but if they make large maps it turns into a sniper fest. In halo they could get away with making big maps because the sniper was a power weapon, but in destiny I kill a sniper only to get sniped by his buddy on the hill across from him. They have to reduce special ammo drops or this will always be a problem.

True, but sniping in halo also seems way easier. I would imagine more maps could be like Zanzibar or the pit...i think those were some of their best maps, combat happened at all ranges. Even trying to camp snipe was easily countered since there were tons of access points.

Yeah, and sniping in destiny is harder because of the red glare that shows up when you ADS, but the problem is that even if it's hard to camp and snipe in destiny (like if they made a map like Zanzibar) it doesn't matter because if you get killed you can just go back and keep sniping. In halo if you got killed the guy who killed you got your sniper and it made a difference to the game.
