Glitch Reveals Additional Content [SP]
I guess the question is, is this the upcoming "Expansion Packs"? My gut feel is yes as this looks as if it does expand upon all areas of the game without gating off an entire new planet/playable area.
My next question would be, will the story missions be something other than ferrying Dinklebot about and will the Strikes have bosses who are actually memorable and fun? I wonder how Bungie will pitch this based on the reception of the base game's story.

It's the expansion content. If you watch the video, it even says "X expansion required" above each new mission.
Granted, it might not be all of the expansion content. There don't seem to be many story missions per expansion shown here, so I imagine there will be additional missions in brand-new areas.
EDIT: For your edification, I broke down each expansion's new content.

Don't subvert the ban

car15, I'm locking this account as well. Your forum privileges were revoked for abusive behavior and creating more accounts to subvert the ban is, at best, a poor decision even if the content of the new posts is not inflammatory.
I will unlock your main account tomorrow (Monday) morning.

The Reef: Reef Raid (Level 28 Raid)
^This does imply new playable areas.
And while I'm here, all cutscenes should be replayable and skippable. Perhaps not the first two, because you never have those objectives again, but a custscene library (added to the credits icon, perhaps, and featuring whichever character you've currently got selected and the cutscenes that character has unlocked) would be very welcome, and I say that not to be ungrateful to Cody.

I'm assuming most of the work on this content was completed before release, so it's not like they can change anything based on the reception. I'm expecting more of the same. I miss the days when DLCs were called expansions, and they were the size of an entire game. In fact, is this the first time Bungie has done DLC? I can't remember any...

They've previously done DLC in the form of multiplayer maps for Halo - that's about all I know of.
This (these) expands the game with story missions, strikes, raids and gear - plus maybe other stuff I'm not aware of.

Some argue that that's what ODST is. It is what ODST was originally.

Multiplayer maps in Halo 2, 3, and Reach.
They almost did something similar with the 20/10 pack for Marathon, but that got turned into Marathon 2.

I think the King's Watch glitch area is probably for Gone to Ground, sound like the only Earth related Wolves mission.
It's pretty finished, maybe totally, has two Ghosts that give a shell and Grimoire cards, all the enemies spawn. I hope not and that it's released ahead of time for free to build up excitement for the expansion, but we'll see.
I'm just really surprised if part of the content for an expansion pack that isn't even out until next year is totally finished, it doesn't look placeholder or half finished. People even got in there during the Beta. It happens plenty, but I really didn't expect Bungie to do it. Even if this is released free now, it could easily be a backpedal. We'll see if more areas like King's Watch are found. Some of the other areas in the menu glitch are open but don't really have anything going on there currently.
Anyways, I wonder if this Wolves stuff will re-insert the Crow stuff shown in the early trailers.
