The really popular titles these days get $10 million budgets, like Gears of War, World of Warcraft.
Halo 2 had more.

Half life 2 cost Valve around $40m to develop. But I have also seen games get a $39m budget and really make a bad game. It all depends on how you manage it, though I doubt any A+ title could be made for less then 5m

From what some dude who should know more about it than I do told me, Battlefield 2 had something in the realm of $200m. (Edit: I doubt they would have used all of that though.)

It didn't have enough time though, clearly.

Bling don't mean a thing if it ain't got some sting

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.
