Is it possible you're just burning ammo by chance? That NR is precious and you should never waste more than 5 shots per regular brute, and 8 for captains. It's possible that you're just spamming your shots more often now though which happens when you're under pressure.
Whenever I play through PoA I'm very conscious of my ammo at all times. When I'm at that landing pad I'll always have a full NR and DMR and I never waste more ammo then I need. For example say I'm trying to kill a brute, I'll shoot him once and wait for his reaction. If he AL's, I hold off and wait till he's out of his invince-frames then quickly hit him 3 times with precise shots. If he dodges, I'll quickly put two shots into him, kill him, and have used the least ammo needed for the job.
In all honesty, right now I'm working on a much more aggressive approach to the landing pad for a variety of reasons. For one, I'd like to be more mobile and feel safe at the same time rather than being couped up in a corner for 10-15 minutes. Also, with the way I'm fighting right now, if my plasma pistol(s) despawns before the Chieftains arrive, I'm done for. I'd like to change that and allow myself easier access to the ground areas.
Those are the kinds of things I've been working on :-)

This is not reliable, but it's worth a shot: in the second smelting room, after killing the jackals and the elite, run up the stairs on run on the right catwalk with your DMR zoomed on the door. As soon as the door opens, immediately open fire on the grunts. I find quite often, the elite gets frozen in the door. Pick up a plasma pistol from one of the dead jackals and pepper away. Unless of course your barricade works flawlessly, then never mind.
What do you guys think; will there be a LASO challenge tomorrow?
Tried it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes he just stands there if I don't kill any of the Grunts. I've just started engaging him in combat since he isn't that difficult anymore.
