Seeking to tap a younger band of recruits, perhaps with the fastest trigger fingers of all, the U.S. Air Force Reserve is teaming with online gaming service Total Entertainment Network, San Francisco, as the exclusive advertiser for a Quake II tournament next month. The competition, “Above and Beyond the Edge, A Quake II Capture the Flag Tournament,” runs from October 5 to November 1 on TEN’s gaming site.
