Crazy black lines appearing everywhere in MW2

    So I was playing Modern Warfare 2 on Terminal when this weird glitch happened. All these black lines seem to come out of the plane, and goes through all the walls. Has anyone else encountered this glitch?
    Also, here's a video of it in case the screenshot isn't clear:

    No I have not. Basically what is happening is the grid that they used for the plane popped up. Does this happen every time you go to Terminal?

    I don't think it is because of the grid of the plane. Also, it sometimes happens, and only in Terminal. Also, sometimes i see a really glitchy bird texture on top of the plane, so is it from the skybox?

    Your graphics card is overheating.

    I don't think so. This only happens in MW2, and only in Terminal. It doesn't happen in any other games that i have. Also, the lines look really uniform, not like a glitch or something that isn't supposed to happen.

    I've seen that particular glitch several times on various systems I've had over the years, and it was usually due to heat. But I suppose it could be something else as well.
