Why is Battlefield 3 being difficult about wanting me to enjoy it to the maximum? I've managed to only temporarily solve the no gun glitch if only for one match, and it didn't freeze either! The f...

You've got a couple of issues happeneing here. On the no gun glitch, when I spawn with no hands and no weapon, I hit the button to switch weapons (Triangle on PS3, “Y” on Xbox, and whichever key you bound to swap weapons on PC), the game will hesitate slightly and my hands will appear with my pistol. I hit the button again and it swaps at normal speed to my primary weapon. This works every time for me. It's not a fix but a work around to keep you playing and killing without dying due to no gun.
Regarding the freezing it's made a return since the last patch on some player's machines. One thing that may help is to rebuild PS3 database Sometimes it also helps to rebuild your PS3's database as described here: http://www.ps3blog.net/2011/01/28/tips-and-tricks-ps3-rebuild-database-faq-recovery-menu/
Also turn off your media server functionality on the PS3 since it takes up system resources, hard wire your conosle into your router as well if you're not already. I also recomment to avoid high ticket matches, several months ago when freezing issues were bad the main time it happened where on high ticket CQ matches when the action became heavy. Try a lower ticket count and see that helps.
- No dice, it ended up doing the same thing as before (after I deleted and reinstalled game data). I had one complete and fantastic match, but lost because the other team was just better. Then next match the game stuttered and I only had a weapon for my first life, managed to get a tank and do some damage and then it froze. And this was a 200 ticket conquest on Oman.
And the second match I switched weapons after the game stuttered. So the game stuttered, I switched weapons three times so I was back on my primary then my character stuttered with his primary and had it for a life.
