Electrode Potential Half Reactions

Does flipping a reaction change the sign of the value of E or is it a completely different value?

For example if I have the value for the half reaction Cl2 + 2e- --> 2Cl- but need the value for the opposite reaction (2Cl -> Cl2 + 2e-), do I just put a negative sign and treat it like delta H values?
