The weapons handle significantly differently, so you can mix it up. You can now snipe with a shotgun or use a sniper rifle like an assault rifle.
Any weapon can work on any build now, and maxxing out 12 points is not necessary or even desireable. I suggest you create a new character and experiment with the weapons. Pay attention to the active abilities like marksman and carnage, they have been changed significantly.
Also, I can't prove it but the force attributes have been probably changed for biotics. I can pick up a geth colossus with only advanced lift, and before it required Master Lift.
Finally some mechanics changes make insanity much easier in LE1.
Community ManagerI loved using the sniper rifle. I always defaulted to a class that used them simply because they were fun from a distance.

One of the best pieces of advice I give players about it. You have to experiment with classes until you find the one you like the most and that works with your play style.
The changes in mechanics were nice for me. I ran through a few plays just with the LE.

I'm trying out a sentinel with a sniper rifle. I use a bolt action rifle like the naginata or spectre for traditional sniping and landing headshots.
But when dealing with charging enemies like thorians, I use a semi auto like the Volkov with hammer head rounds and fire from the hip and aim centre of mass. It essentially doubles as a shotgun.
