Destiny sniper rifles have no bullet drop. You can snipe a headshot easily from a mile away. I think including bullet drop in guns increases the need for more skill based shots and increases the competitive gameplay as well as realism. Also, it will force diversity in the types of guns and will force the user to think a little harder on which guns to use.
One can argue that sniper rifle ammunition is few and difficult to find. Additionally, combining low ammunition with bullet drop may make it too hard too snipe or even utilize the sniper rifle.

I'd be fine with bullet drop, but I thought the Sniper was incredibly balanced in the Alpha. Between the "tunnel vision" that players experienced with the scope which eliminated your radar, noises, and peripherals, and the targeting laser that warned players far away that they were being targeted and also pointed out where the sniper was, and the general lack of ammo, snipers never felt terribly out of control or unpredictable. Great conveyance on Bungie's part.
