Remember: WAIT!
They cancelled the beta. So something was SO wrong with the game, that they didn't want the public to find out about.
I hope it will be a good game, because the first was fun to play, but we will find that out after it released.

Yes. Multiplayer is mostly broken as of yet.
Personally, I hope any issues are with multiplayer because I completely don't care about it. Single-player ftw!
Thanks for the heads up.
I hope it will be a good game as well, I do like the Warhammer 40K universe (fascinating, as it paints a grim dystopian future which humanity has been entrapped within). Cancelling a beta is a dire move, I feel like they're trying to hide something as well. It's best to wait and not let excitement overrule being wise.
Is this game accessible for someone who knows absolutely nothing about the series?
Yup, the rules are simple: you serve the empror by killing the alien, the mutant and the heretic.
All else is blasphemy.
First one totally was, I'd expect the same here
Was the first one any good? I've played a couple of 40k games that were meh. I like the lore, but the story and gameplay have to be up to par also.
Yeah it's basically like Gears of War with more melee.
One of the best games after Dawn of War in the 40k franchise
So you see it all started with space frogs hundreds of millions of years ago...
I would recommend playing the first game (it's good, though it is showing some age). Apart from that: no, you don't really need to know the lore to follow along. And the comments in this thread have given more than enough background to follow it.
That being said, if you're interested in the lore I've been listening to a podcast called "Laying Down the Lore Warhammer 40k". I found it entertaining and informative
Most the games are fine to just pick up with no knowledge of Warhammer.
I still need the option to hide in a corner and heal.
Heresy!
So like a normal manufacturing job nowadays
