The idea being that if you can take an entire team and queue for Factional Warfare you should allow you to go corp versus corp so long as you both have 2 full teams. Since there won't be that many full teams queueing at the same time if you want to fight a specific team you should be able to queue sync easily.
While this is obviously not perfect and only partially covers what you are seeking we feel it is a better first step in that direction as it covers more people and does more for the game. We can then look at actual corp versus corp again later.
Hope that helps! :D Please don't just add team deploy to FW. For some reason you think teams won't be queuing at the same time, lol. The 4 per hour that pop up fill up within 5 seconds. Please don't over think it. Just add corp battles, pretty please! Right now the way faction warfare works is we spin up 4 battles, when those fill we start spinning up more basically 1 at a time as all matches are full. It's not the best way that is for sure. What we want to change it to though is an actual queueing system where you can take an entire team, click queue, and you wait until there is another team or enough players to make up a team queued and then we start a server for you. So if two full teams click go at near the same time it should near instantly start a battle. That make sense?
With how random FW is, I'd think it'll be a pain to queue 2 stacked teams at the same time. Most of the time there's a chance a random player gets into the match, thus making the full team unable to join, while if another team has already joined, the other side will be composed of random or small squads, which will lead into pubstomp. And yes FW matches start to get full fast with random players. Corp battles is the easiest solution and way to go. If you make corp battles have an effect in FW, then it'll be more interesting.
