I'm caught in a bind, I can't decide what I like better short range or long range, but I want to specialize in one of them. Now I know the size of the map also depends on which weapons you choose, like your not going to be running around in sidewinder with a shotgun or around wizard with a sniper rifle. So I'm mainly asking this for the medium range maps like hang em high and damnaation. I like using the sniper rifle because I'm good with it, but I still think headshots are hard. I'm really good with the pistol and pretty good with the AR and the shotty. So what do you think is more effective on the medium range maps? Also is it possible to go close range on the larger maps?

well, if you can use a sniper rifle at close and long range then do it, as its basically a 1 hit 1 kill weapon. So if you take that with a human pistol on any map you should be fine. If you want to specilise then use a rifle as you can be superb with the shotgun but you simply wont win against a sniper whos miles away.

Simple close range more close range maps than long range ones plus the long range ones have CQ combat places too
