Do I need to know anything from the past games or can I just right into this one and completely understand what’s going on?

Depends - Are you going to play the campaign or multiplayer? Or both? The campaign is pretty much a story for itself, exept with some few references to the last one. The multiplayer doesn’t have any storyline at all, so no. You don’t need to have played the previous ones.

Uhm you mean singleplayer storywise or …the multiplayer? Either way, no. Just read a few basic instructions on the game modes and try to play the objective if you want to jump right into the massive (though very buggy) online action.
