Halo also only had 1 sniper rifle (Destiny)

Sniper rifles and shotguns were power weapons, unless you played the sniper/shotty variant.

People could control the open field with a BR, Pistol or MR, but that was the extent of the issue. Most of the large open middles were to allow vehicle combat.

In Halo the most common loadout equivalent would be a mid impact AR, HC, or Scout rifle.

Imagine a round of crucible if you only had one green ammo box in the center of the map, and it only dropped one brick period, not a brick per person.

Depends on the map. Blood gulch had 2 snipers (one at each base), for example. Even so, my friends and I played an awful lot of pistol + sniper rifle and it was glorious.
