Showing what appear to be game modes:

The City: Some sort of social hub?
Chapter 3: Singleplayer, probably displaying campaign progress.
Bounty: Unknown, some sort of weekly challenge. 3 stars to indicate different "levels" of challenge / reward?
Strike: This is probably the competitive multiplayer.
Raid: PvE content? The word "raid" implies WoW-style guild raiding to me.
Faction Wars: Unknown, perhaps Guild vs Guild battles or some sort of World vs World?

Edit:
Parties now appear to be called Squads, and can contain up to 6 players.
Each player has a level or rank.
Each player belongs to a Guild / Clan.

The City!

Getting a strong MMO vibe from these shots.

City courtyard close up.

Close up of robotic character with a long rifle.

Forested singleplayer level.

Another shot of same. Unclear how much is playable space and how much is skybox, but it looks as if the level could extend at least to the next hill in the background.

Player character visible in lower foreground.

Edit: could be this level? concept art

Unsure if this is the same level or a different one, but appears to show off 3 player coop.

Also interesting to note the Lobby in the first screenshot only had 3 players in as well. Could be coincidence or perhaps 3 player coop is the max.
Edit: Potentially discredited due to Lobby showing 3/6 players. Possible 6 player coop?

Close up of coop partners.

Edit: Seems to suggest Bungie are sticking to their "carry only two weapons at once" mantra. Both players visible are carrying a Primary weapon and have a Secondary slung on their backs.
