Haven't run into those yet, but it's nice to at least get an answer. All the COD4 Hack searches on Google led me to how to sites.

As for Battlefield 3. No one should be surprised. EA gave Dice studios a huge budget for a modern FPS and basically said "beat Modern Warfare."
EA Battlefield 3 marketing budget set to blow COD out of the water | Battlefield 3 Today

The reported budget for the Battlefield 3 marketing/advertising campaign is $100 million, which sounds like a huge amount but taken into perspective it’s going to take some serious backing to knock Call of Duty of the top spot.

Keep in mind sales of MW2 were $400 million on the first day alone so $100 million marketing budget is nothing in light of the big picture. Be curious to see what they were spending on actual production. Though if MW2 is any indication it's about half the marketing budget.
