It's probably because this is a testing ground for future hammerhead dlc. they want to get out some basic missions and then flesh it out later.
Plus there's two missions missing from that list. The first two are obviously "small training missions" the night canyon mission with the geth is more of a "real" mission (it's cool to see one of those big sphere things from me1 again) and it obviously lasts way longer than 3 minutes. There's also apparently a Desert level from the GTTV trailer, and a more action packed base volcano level.
Canyon/Snow levels = training levels to get used to the hammerhead
Desert/Volcano/Mining Site levels = real missions that take a little longer and probably involve getting in and out of the vehicle
I mean it's not like this is the ONLY hammerhead dlc we'll be getting over the next year. It's only been two months and we already have:
Zaeed & Kasumi and thier loyalty missions (Kasumi's may be a multipart mission)
2 new heavy weapons, a shotgun, and an smg
a new armor, new casual wear, and what looks like new custom armor pieces
3 new outfits for our squadmates
2 new loyalty powers
1 new unique squadmember specific power
5 hammerhead missions
some unspecified side quests with the kasumi dlc
oh yeah and the normandy crash site
And that's in just two months. Multiply that by 6 (The average timeframe for DLC support before the team really gears up for the sequel) and that's alot of content to look forward to. (I didn't count the promotional dlc (3 helmets, 4 armors, 3 guns) but you can if you want, we might be getting more dr pepper promo items this summer? which is fine because that **** is easy as hell to secure)
but yeah like...by the time ME3 comes out, ME2 will probably have enough missions and content to COMPLETELY ECLIPSE the planetary exploration missions of the first game.
Edit: And yeah, look at how many things they're doing with the kasumi dlc. Down the road we'll probably be getting more TOTALLY NEW PROGRAMMED style skills for those blank spots in the squadmates' abilities list, and whatever is supposed to be in shep's 8th slot. (I hope jack gets a variant on the biotic charge, and thane gets a version of kasumi's cloak kill, maybe shep's 8th slot will be the ability to equip two squadmate powers at once, which could make a soldier devastating, or be something new altogether)
