They need to get rid of damage dropoff, period. That kind of thing doesn't have a noticable effect until you're approaching maximum effective range, which is usually meaured in the hundreds of meters for most weapons, not a few feet, like in CoD. And if a sniper rifle fires a 7.62x51mm round, and a battle rifle fires the same round, they need to do the same amount of damage. I aso don't undertand why every weapon has to have some redeeming quality. All weapons are not created equal, and people would use them at their own peril. It makes no sense that someone is able to run around with a sidearm and compete effectively against people wielding rifles and shotguns.
