Lucasarts terminated support for not only the patch server to SWBF, but support for the master lists for both games.
A workaround does exist though; it involves using DNS redirection.
I contacted lordnikon about replicating the SOCOM master list last summer, and he said that he isn't very interested in doing it, because he doesn't like SOCOM or Amplitude very much. Also, on case you missed it, I edited a link to packet files into my previous post:

Ah, that trick. xD
Yeah, I already use that to play SWBF2 online.

You don't even need the workaround for SWBF2, you'll get the patch error a few times but you should be able to get through even without altering your DNS.

Sorry about my doubt, but how I do this update for my console this update is in game? I save in memory card?

Well guys, there's no problem that they are shutting down!
You can still play SOCOM 2 and 3 online using LAN tunnelling... so why are you guys so upset

Amplitude had a DNS hack to keep it online.

Yep, Socom 1 will be offline probably forever, and Amplitude along with it since Freddy got Amplitude working online again by using Socom 1's server.
