I haven't played after the patch yet, but all this sounds promising. It forces the load outs to be more balanced and you don't have to run hand-cannon / shot-gun to be effective in PvP.
As for the hand cannons, I think their range was WAY too much before, so the nerf is welcomed to me. Doesn't make sense you run hand cannon for range and shot-gun for close. It was getting so frustrating get taken down in 2-3 shots by someone at scout-rifle range. I think they've just re-adjusted hand-cannons to what they should be, a close range weapon.
